| Research Abstract |
The idea of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is proposed by the society of critical care medicine in 1992. SIRS is an acute inflammatory response caused by serious disease like trauma, sepsis and burn. Hyperthermia, tachycardia, tachypnea and increased leucocyte are observed in SIRS.
It is known that massive quantity cytokine induced from immune cell causes SIRS. We investigated the function of regulatory T cell (Treg) which suppresses immunological response.
We found that the number of Treg was increased in critically-ill patients which is especially sensitive to infection.Therefore, it might be that the evaluation and regulation of Treg result in a key to a better treatment of sepsis and infection.
