[Infection and blood filterability].
Some markers of inflammation were monitored, and whole blood filterability was measured using a low shear positive pressure nuclepore filtration system in 21 patients at the onset of an acute bacterial infection and again after full clinical recovery 4 weeks later and compared to the filterability of 40 matched healthy controls. Impairments in whole blood filterability persisted even after convalescence.
