C-Terminal Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Peptide: A New Sepsis Biomarker with Immunomodulatory Function

Figure 6

Boxplots of CAAP47/48 concentrations. Boxplots of CAAP48 concentrations in severe sepsis and SIRS patients following cardiac surgery and polytrauma are shown. CAAP48 concentrations comprise CAAP48 or CAAP47 concentrations for homozygous individuals and CAAP47/48 concentrations for heterozygous individuals. Circles represent mild outliers and asterisks extreme outliers. values for significant differences between groups are indicated with respective lines. Severe sepsis patients exhibit significant higher CAAP47/48 concentrations compared to the severe SIRS and HIV infected patients.
