    Abstract

    Aim: To assess the hypothesized that platelet activation markers triggered by common infections may help predicting occurrence of sepsis in specific ICU patient populations. Material and Methods: The present prospective study was conducted in patients >18 years of age, admitted at P.D. Hinduja Hospital and Medical Research Center in the Intensive care unit (ICU) with acute febrile illness. Any patient fulfilling the inclusion criteria, admitted as an in-patient to this hospital during a period of 12 consecutive months was included in the study. Group I Patients Admitted in ICU with fever and proven to have sepsis (confirmed by positive blood culture) Group II Patients admitted in ICU with fever and having no proven sepsis (blood culture is negative), The q-SOFA score was recorded with IPF was compared with PCT and blood culture. q-SOFA score was compared in both the groups.
