title: Plasma fibronectin.
abstract: Plasma fibronectin deficiency and reticuloendothelial phagocytic dysfunction are observed in critically ill and septic surgical, trauma or burn patients with multiple organ failure. They also appear to amplify altered lung vascular permeability with sepsis or intravascular coagulation. This article highlights important aspects of plasma fibronectin which may relate to the aetiology of multiple organ failure in the septic injured patient.
