Michael (Infectious Diseases Society of America, 2008)Background: Prediction of mortality may improve management and outcomes of patients with sepsis in resource-limited settings. Therefore, we evaluated the ability of a hand-held portable whole-blood lactate (PWBL) analyzer ... -
Treatment of severe sepsis with Artemether-Lumefantrine Is associated with decreased mortality in Ugandan patients without malaria
Moore, Christopher C; Jacob, Shevin T; Pinkerton, Relana; Banura, Patrick; Meya, David B; Reynolds, Steven J; Kenya-Mugisha, Nathan; Mayanja-Kizza, Harriet; Scheld, Michael. W (The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2009)We enrolled 382 patients at two hospitals in Uganda in a prospective observational study of severe sepsis. Because artemisinins improve survival in murine sepsis models, we performed a post hoc analysis of the association ... -
