Useful and Promise Cellular Markers for Immunosuppression in Sepsis

Sepsis is a pathological condition frequently caused by invasion of a pathogen and the subsequent unregulated response that threatens the patient's life through diverse organ failure. The incidence of sepsis is increasing, and there is no specific therapy. Despite technological contributions to treat sepsis or increased knowledge of its molecular pathophysiology, mortality remains high, and sepsis is a global health problem. Knowledge of the role of the cells involved in the host response through the synthesis of inflammatory mediators and their different effects on cells, tissues or systems is key to the development of medical treatments that regulate systems involved in such responses to pathogens. This review addresses new insights into the role of cells, their mediators, and the interaction between them that lead to the development of a state of immunosuppression.
