Association of the early absolute CD64-expressing neutrophil count and sepsis outcome

Abstract

To evaluate the early absolute CD64/CD15/CD45 neutrophil count as a marker of prognosis of sepsis outcome the absolute CD64/CD15/CD45 count was measured by flow cytometry in 65 patients with confirmed or suspected Gram-negative sepsis and organ dysfunction. Serum interleukin(IL)-8 and interferon-gamma (IFNγ) were measured by an enzyme immunoassay. An absolute count lower than 2500 cells/mm 3 could early discriminate non-survivors with sensitivity 82.9% (OR 3.46, 95%CIs 1.10-10.95, p 0.042). After forward step-wise Cox-regression analysis, it was found that acute coagulopathy, acute renal injury, and an early absolute CD64/CD15/CD45 count lower than 2500/mm 3 were independently associated with unfavorable outcome. The OR for death among patients with an absolute CD64/CD15/CD45 neutrophil count greater than 2500/mm 3 and circulating IL-8 greater than 95 pg/ml was 0.44; this was significantly increased to 7.44 among patients with an absolute CD64/CD15/CD45 neutrophil count lower than 2500/mm 3 (p 0.045 by the Breslow-Day's test; p 0.046 by the Tarone's test). An absolute CD64/CD15/CD45 count below 2500/mm 3 can be a useful prognosticator of sepsis outcome and a probable indicator of sepsis immunosuppression. Keywords CD64 . Outcome . Prognosis .

IL-21/IL-21R Regulates the Neutrophil-Mediated Pathologic Immune Response during Chlamydial Respiratory Infection

“…Previous studies found low expression of CD64 molecule on resting neutrophils; however, it increases once neutrophils become activated [ 30 , 31 ]. Based on it, we determined the activation status of neutrophils by detecting the surface CD64 expression firstly.…”

A signature of immune-related genes correlating with clinical prognosis and immune microenvironment in sepsis

“…Not only are neutrophils the first line of defense, armed with the ability to recognize and respond to infection in the absence of normal receptor expression, but they are also activated in sepsis to produce reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide, cytokines, proteases, and kinins. Xini et al [ 53 ] discovered that an early absolute CD64/CD15/CD45 neutrophils count lower than 2500/mm 3 is independently associated with unfavorable outcome of sepsis. Another study found that reduced neutrophil CD16 expression predicted an increased risk of death in critically ill patients with sepsis [ 54 ].…”

“…Quantitative expression of neutrophil CD64 serves as a sensitive and specific laboratory indicator of the presence of sepsis or systemic acute inflammatory response, thus suggestive of a variety of inflammatory conditions ( Xini et al, 2019 ; Hashem et al, 2020 ; Patnaik et al, 2020 ). Levels of CD64 were found to predict the occurrence of advanced appendicitis or PA; CRP levels and CD64 expression on leukocytes could better predict the diagnosis of CA ( Ozguner et al, 2014 ).…”
