- Abstract
The article focuses on sepsis management and its care. Many people die from the disease of severe sepsis because it is hard to describe how sick someone is. There is a need of a biomarker to indicate the degree of sepsis. A team from the French University Hospital Centers in Nancy and Dijon, France has developed three biomarkers which are procalcitronin (PCT), sTREM-1 and a type of glycoprotein expressed on the surface of neutrophils.
