Inflammatory response to sepsis. Immune response to sepsis is both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory. An initial hyper-inflammatory phase is followed by a hypo-inflammatory (immunosuppressive) phase. Immunosuppression in sepsis contributes to increased mortality in elderly patients. Ideally, good biomarkers can reflect the hyper- (A) or hypo-inflammatory (B) status and the direction of inflammatory response (A or C).
