Abstract: The hypothesis for its pathogenesis is that it requires three things- stress, plus a nonbacterial infection, and these two components suppress the host defense mechanism sufficiently to allow the bacterial infections to produce a severe pneumonia. And the economic losses are primarily due to the bacterial infection. This talk is going to focus on neutrophil function primarily, and I will talk about how each of those things can suppress neutrophil function.
