Changes in the distribution of neutrophils expressing epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like molecule containing mucin-like hormone receptor (EMR2) correspond to the extent of organ dysfunction [sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score]. The distribution of neutrophils expressing EMR2 in six patients with sepsis (a–f) was examined sequentially for up to 2 weeks following entry into the intensive care unit (ICU) and related to the SOFA score, assessed on the day of blood sample collection. There was a direct correlation between the percentage of neutrophils bearing EMR2 and SOFA (r = 0·396; P < 0·05).
