“…Moreover, we could not find any correlation between platelet counts and disease severity in shock patients. In contrast, Peters et al [18] reported that platelets counts correlated with sepsis severity; however, the reason behind this discrepancy with our study is not known but may be related to the fact that their study was limited to paediatric patients with meningococcal sepsis. This study demonstrates that patients with shock have elevated levels of sCD40L in the plasma.…”

“…For example, it has been reported that the severity of thrombocytopenia correlates with disease severity in sepsis [18]. Notably, a recent study showed that platelet-derived sCD40L mediates neutrophil activation and plays a key role in septic lung injury in mice [7].…”

“…Nem todos são específicos para a doença meningocócica e parecem atualmente sobrestimar a mortalidade face à melhoria dos cuidados prestados. 17 A escala GMSPS foi durante vários anos usada em cuidados intensivos, sendo descrita uma sensibilidade que ronda os 100%. 18,19 No entanto, tem como desvantagens o elevado número de variáveis analisadas (sete), e a inclusão de parâmetros subjetivos como a opinião dos pais acerca da evolução da doença.…”

“…Não depende do observador, é rápi-do e no estudo original parecia ser fidedigno em menores de cinco anos, no entanto apenas foi validado num pequeno número de doentes. 17 Também o score de Roterdão não tem fatores subjetivos, baseando-se unicamente no excesso de base, plaquetas, potássio e proteína C reativa, que são facilmente obtidos na primeira hora após admissão.…”

“…Debemos destacar que son signos de gravedad, "independiente de cuan bien se vea el paciente", un inicio fulminante (horas), la rá-pida progresión de un exantema purpúrico-petequial, la presencia de neutropenia y/o trombocitopenia en el hemograma y la necesidad de altos requerimientos de fluidos de reanimación [71][72][73] . Las metas terapéuticas sugeridas en la Campaña Sobreviviendo a la Sepsis, son las siguientes en lo atingente a su estadía en el Servicio de Urgencia:…”
