"Evaluating Absolute Eosinophil Count as a Diagnostic and Prognostic Marker in Sepsis: Correlation with SOFA and qSOFA Scores"

Abstract

Introduction : Sepsis is a dysregulated host response to an infection that causes organ failure that poses a serious risk to life. Although culture results are not always available right away and the majority of patients continue to test culture negative, microbial 
culture is still the gold standard for diagnosing sepsis. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to assess absolute eosinophil count as a new marker for diagnosing sepsis and also to assess the prognosis of the patient in relation to Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA)/quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score.
