Popis: Severe sepsis induces a state of immunoparalysis.[1] Animal models have demonstrated this to be secondary to microbial-induced host epigenetic alterations, which persist and are associated with long-term immunoparalysis.[2] Whilst human sepsis is associated with poor long-term outcomes in conjunction with recurrent infections,[3] it is not clear if the immunoparalysed state persists following recovery from the initial septic insult.
