Immune Resolution After Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteremia

Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Immune Response To Sepsis
Staphylococcus Aureus Infection
Registration Number
NCT01879761
Lead Sponsor
University of Chicago
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine how monocyte HLA-DR and other markers of immune function change with time in patients with and without prior immune dysfunction who survive sepsis from Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.

We hypothesize that patients with prior immune dysfunction will have greater reductions in HLA-DR and other markers of immune function after an episode of sepsis than people who do not have prior immune dysfunction.
