title: Altered immune status of circulating T lymphocytes during sepsis: children also.
abstract: Altered immune status of blood leukocytes is a general phenomenon observed in adult patients with sepsis or septic shock. This is also the case in children with septic shock for both T helper 1 and T helper 2 lymphocytes, as demonstrated by their reduced ex vivo cytokine production upon activation by phytohemagglutinin.
