Biomarkers and Sepsis:
New Tools May Aid Early Diagnosis and Treatment
Tuesday, July 21, 7:00am – 8:30am
Fairmont Chicago Hotel, Crystal Ballroom
Sepsis remains a leading cause of death worldwide, with bacterial infection accounting for
the majority of cases. Progression from a systemic inflammatory response to septic shock
is associated with increased mortality and can occur rapidly. The often non-specific nature
of symptoms can confound an early diagnosis and may delay critical intervention. Biomarkers
such as procalcitonin may aid in early identification and support the decision to treat. This workshop discusses the growing burden of sepsis and reviews evidence for the potential
role of biomarkers, as well as bacterial identification and resistance testing in the diagnosis
and treatment of sepsis.
