How severe infections affect the immune system
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how severe infections (like sepsis) affect the body's immune system over time. It may help researchers find better ways to help patients recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 18 years old or older
- In an intensive care unit (ICU) with a serious infection, or another critical illness without infection, or a healthy volunteer
- Have a SOFA score of at least 2 (a measure of organ function in the ICU)

This study looks at how the immune system reacts to sepsis (a severe infection that causes organs to fail) and whether there are lasting effects on health. It may help researchers understand why some people recover well and others don’t.
This study looks at how the immune system works in people who are critically ill with sepsis. By understanding these changes, doctors hope to find better ways to treat this serious condition.
This study looks at how the immune system changes in people with sepsis (a severe response to infection that can cause organ failure). It aims to understand immune dysfunction to help improve treatments.
This study looks at how the immune system changes during sepsis, a life-threatening infection that can cause organ failure. By studying blood samples over time, researchers hope to find better ways to treat or prevent complications.
This study looks at how certain natural molecules in your blood might affect recovery from severe infections or sepsis. By understanding these molecules, doctors hope to better predict outcomes and personalize treatment for patients in the ICU.
This study looks at how sepsis (a severe infection) affects the immune system. The goal is to see if certain blood markers can help doctors predict recovery, which could improve the care of future patients with septic shock.
