Efficacy Of Zinc Towards The Outcome on Children With Sepsis

Summary

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ failure induced by a compromised immune response to infection. Sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality (50-60%) in children treated in inpatient and critical care units. Children suffering from immunodeficiency have a higher mortality rate. Several studies in recent years have revealed that zinc homeostasis may be a significant role in the prevention of sepsis. It was important to conduct this study to determine the efficacy of zinc in children suffering from sepsis.
