Sepsis, a systemic inflammatory response to infection, commonly progresses to acute lung
injury (ALI), an inflammatory lung disease with high morbidity. We postulated that sepsis …

Bacterial infections of the lungs and abdomen are among the most common causes of

The clinical syndrome of acute lung injury (ALI) occurs as a result of an initial acute systemic
inflammatory response. This can be consequent to a plethora of insults, either direct to the …
