ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how sepsis, a serious infection that affects the whole body, causes the immune system to stop working properly for a long time. This weakened immune system can make people more likely to get new infections while they are still in the hospital or even after they go home. The researchers want to understand what happens to certain immune cells called T cells and B cells, which help fight infections, by looking closely at how these cells change and behave during and after sepsis.
The study is open to adults aged 65 to 74 of any gender who have had sepsis. While the trial is not yet recruiting participants, those who take part will have tests done to examine their immune cells in detail. This may include blood tests that look at the cells’ functions and the chemical changes inside them. Learning more about these changes could help doctors find better ways to protect people from infections after sepsis and improve recovery.
