It seems that a balance between anti and pro-inflammatory responses must be kept to eliminate the pathogen without inducing inflammatory damage in the host. Thus we determined the relation between macrophage activation and the severity and clinical outcome in septic patients. ⋯ Markers of antiinflammation are predominant in more severe types of sepsis suggesting that antiinflammation is related to mortality.
