Identification and Validation of Established and Novel Biomarkers for Infections in Burns

Abstract

Biomarkers predicting the development of sepsis and/or infections in burn patients have been proposed, but not validated. In our four site study, we are enrolling severely burned adults and collecting clinical data and blood samples in order to test already proposed biomarkers of infections and sepsis. Additionally we will use novel mass spectrometry techniques to identify heretofore unidentified biomarkers of infections and/or sepsis.
