Abstract:
|
A patient with abdominal sepsis, had both intra and extracellular bacteria in a blood smear, and high levels of neutrophil membrane CD64 and HLA-Dr. Intracellular bacteria are only observed in the terminal phase of a sepsis. Our patient recovered, suggesting that a high expression of neutrophil CD64 is indicative for a good prognosis.
