Abstract
The incidence of Gram-negative bacteraemia in 100 patients with sepsis syndrome receiving antibiotics, and admitted to the Intensive Therapy Unit, was only 12%. If endotoxin antibody is only effective in bacteraemic patients and these results are confirmed, there would be little indication for its use in our Intensive Therapy Unit.
