“…The reduction in the expression of HLA-DR and co-stimulatory molecules on macrophages would be consistent with an impaired host defense state. 22 We speculate that this state may favor a decreased ability to induce an appropriate acquired immune response to microbial stimuli, which may ultimately perpetuate or promote bacterial colonization within the airways milieu.…”

“…Among the 44 patients who did not survive at day 28, 42 (95%) did not develop neutropenia recovery; this underlines the impact of persistent immunosuppression on outcome [28]. Accordingly, ICU admission of neutropenic cancer patients with ARF during neutropenia recovery is known to be associated with good prognosis [7].…”

“…In such conditions, it has been proposed that activated neutrophils release free radicals, inflammatory mediators, and proteases that can damage lung tissue, leading to flooding of alveoli by plasma liquid and proteins. Conditions such as ARDS have, however, also been reported in severely neutropenic patients (43,44) where alternative mechanisms, such as alveolar macrophage dysfunction (45), have been proposed to contribute to damage of the lung alveolar-capillary barrier. In experimental mouse models of airway inflammation, neutrophil depletion is often associated with attenuation of lung injury (reviewed in Ref.…”
