[Human leucocyte antigen-DR expression on CD(14)(+) monocytes and its relationships with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in severe sepsis].
To explore the changes of CD(14)(+) monocyte human leucocyte antigen DR (HLA-DR) and their relationship with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in severe sepsis. ⋯ In patients with severe sepsis, persistent low CD(14)(+) monocyte HLA-DR levels predicts high mortality. The levels of HLA-DR are significantly correlated to the severity of organ dysfunction.
