And here it is one of our most important articles, supporting that a 'viral storm' accompanied by hyperinflammation in patients with low antibody levels is the driver of the most severe forms of COVID-19 (published in The Lancet Microbe) #IDsky

We need to identify properly those patients receiving benefit from antivirals , immunomodulators or both. See a follow up paper we published in Clin Tras Med

Thanks!. I think that our results mainly suggest that a cluster of patients cannot control the virus from the very first beginning, and that early antivirals could help them. On top to this, if antivirals could still be useful once at the ICU remains as a interesting issue to be studied

It’s World #Sepsis Day
Sepsis kills 11 million people each year.

Symptoms incl.:
🔸Fever or shivering
🔸Confusion
🔸Shortness of breath
🔸Rash that does not fade when pressed
🔸Extreme discomfort
🔸Sweaty skin

Seek medical care as soon as possible when an infection is not getting better.

What is sepsis?
Sepsis arises when a person has an infection, and the body's reaction to it injures tissues and organs

Just to make it clear (again): Hamas is a terrorist group that must release the hostages. What they did killing Israeli citizens was a crime against humanity. Having said this, what Israel is doing to the Palestinians is a genocide, and the EU should stop commercing with Israel.

Jesús F. Bermejo-Martin @biosepsis.bsky.social · Aug 30

We the European citizens are ashamed on the lack of action of EU in the genocide caused by Israel in Palestina. Are we keep on buying oranges from Israel while they kill thousands of civilians? Can you imagin yourself doing nothing during the Holocaust? It is time to react...PLEASE DO SOMETHING !

🦠 COVID rebound linked to higher death risk
