Brief Summary

Is HMGB1 (High Mobility Group Box 1) elevated in sepsis patients for weeks after recovery from severe sepsis/septic shock, similar to what has been observed in mice? Do patients recovering from severe sepsis/septic shock suffer from cognitive impairment and is such impairment associated with prolonged HMGB1 levels in plasma?
