In a potential paradigm change for sepsis diagnostics, a new test predicted sepsis soon after infection in mice—well before blood clotting and organ failure—enabling early antibiotic treatment and markedly increased survival. The findings provide a platform to develop rapid and easy-to-perform clinical tests for early sepsis detection and clinical intervention in human patients.
