“…DA itself is notably a widely used therapeutic drug, especially in intensive care units, therefore understanding the immunomodulatory role of these key neurotransmitters is of extreme relevance considering the critical conditions of Pts that are typically treated with this drug or more in general the wide use of drugs acting on DR (e.g., antiparkinson drugs) used in the clinical setting. In this regard, it is important to note that the range of concentrations used in the clinical setting can have negative effects on immune functions as reported in preterm infants [57] or in other clinical conditions of systemic infection [58].…”

“…They indicated that the nosocomial infection rates were related to both the duration of dopamine administration and the total dopamine dose. In addition, a retrospective study of extremely preterm infants demonstrated that the increased amount of dopamine was associated with infection (9). Furthermore, i n vivo and in vitro tests also confirmed that dopamine could affect the growth or virulence of certain bacteria (10, 11).…”
