Low-Dose Steroid Therapy Is Associated with Decreased IL-12 Production in PBMCs of Severe Septic Patients

<div>No change of HLA-DR expression between groups of no low-dose steroid and low-dose steroid. Boxplots of (a) monocyte percentage, (b) positive HLA-DR percentage in monocytes, and (c) MFI of HLA-DR are shown in patients treated with or without low-dose steroid therapy on days 1 and 7. HLA= human leukocyte antigen; MFI= means of fluorescence intensities.</div>
