Changes of CD3+CD56+ γδ T cell number and apoptosis during hospital admission are related to mortality in septic patients. Clin Immunol. 2022 Mar;236:108956. doi: 10.1016/j.clim.2022.108956.

We aimed to relate changes in the number of αβ and γδ T cells during hospital stay to the poor evolution of sepsis. In this prospective study, we recruited a total of 92 septic patients from the Emergency and Intensive Care Departments of two Hospitals, according to the latest criteria for the definition and management of sepsis. According to the severity of the septic process, there was a progressive decrease in T cells, being much more intense in γδ T cells. This decrease recovered in surviving patients, but CD3+CD56+ γδ T cells continued to decreased during hospital stay in non-surviving patients. Apoptosis increased in sepsis. Cell death of CD3+CD56+ γδ T cells progressively increased according to the severity of sepsis, especially in non-surviving patients.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationaljournal articleembargoed access579.6615.28576.8Sepsisαβ T cellsγδ T cellApoptosisMortalityCiencias BiomédicasMicrobiología (Farmacia)Parasitología (Farmacia)2412 Inmunología
