The monocyte expression of Trem-1 (trend) and TLR2 (significant) are higher in patients with severe sepsis (including septic shock and MODS) compared to patients with simple sepsis (severe sepsis vs. simple sepsis: Trem-1: 31,47 (±12) vs. 24.54 (±19,65); p = 0,07; TLR2: 27.57 (±8,59) vs. 22,08 (±8,3) p < 0,05) (Table 2). This evidence concerns the gene TLR2 and Sepsis.
