SAA1 and Sepsis: Despite the fact that our study has several limitations such as small population, low availability of the ELISA test for clinics and not validation of all the identified candidate biomarkers for sepsis by proteomics, we successfully validated from a research point of view, a three promising protein panel (SAA-1, LRG1 and sCD25) which could be performed at clinics and may help in the early state of diagnosis of sepsis in children.
