- W182155550 abstract "We measured concentrations of defensins (human neutrophil peptides) in the plasma of healthy volunteers and patients with sepsis and meningitis. When a sensitive enzyme immunoassay was used, defensins were detected in plasma samples from 13 of 24 healthy blood donors, with a mean +/- SD of 42 +/- 53 ng/ml. Defensin levels in plasma samples from seven patients with sepsis at the onset of disease ranged from 900 ng/ml to 170,000 ng/ml. In 10 patients with meningitis in the initial phase of disease, plasma defensin concentrations ranged from 120 ng/ml to 910 ng/ml. Defensin concentrations in the plasma of both patient groups were significantly higher than those in healthy blood donors (p << 0.01), and patients with sepsis had higher defensin levels than patients with meningitis (p < 0.01). Defensin levels were significantly (p < 0.01) lower after the beginning of specific antibiotic therapy. Defensin concentrations in the plasma of patients with sepsis and meningitis correlated only weakly (r = 0.38) with blood neutrophil count. In vitro studies of defensin added to plasma indicated that all defensin was bound to plasma proteins. At high concentrations (1000 micrograms/ml), defensins caused precipitation of plasma proteins. Because plasma defensin levels may reflect neutrophil activation at sites of infection and inflammation, studies of the clinical utility of defensin ELISA are indicated." @default.
