Abstract
Septic syndroms and the associated perturbation of immune homeo — stasis represent a major health problem in intensive care settings. Aim of our development is a diagnostic tool for monitoring the post-operative host response to assess the risk of early infectious complications. The diagnostic application of an established RNA-biomarker panel from whole blood for septic patients, measured on a qPCR platform, will be extended towards immunosuppressed post-transplant patients.
