   Nov 30, 2019 · The complete blood count has long been an integral component of diagnosing septic shock. For example, the initial definition of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in 1992 included abnormality in white blood cell count (either elevated or reduced) or a normal white blood cell count with >10% bands ( 1 ).

   Aug 27, 2023 · White Blood Count. The CBC has long been considered integral in evaluating sepsis and septic shock. The initial definition of SIRS and the SCCM Sepsis-2 criteria included an abnormal white blood cell count, leukocytosis, or leukopenia as diagnostic criteria for sepsis.

   Oct 25, 2021 · Indeed, the first consensus sepsis definition incorporated an increased (> 12 × 10 9 /L) or decreased (< 4 × 10 9 /L) white blood cell count into the SIRS criteria . However, the utility of serum biomarkers to predict or exclude blood stream infection is debated, with many of the commonly used tests lacking sensitivity and specificity.

   Why does the WBC count fluctuate during sepsis?

   • During the course of sepsis, the WBC count may fluctuate, depending on the severity of sepsis or shock, the patient's immunologic status, and the etiology of the infection. Concurrent corticosteroid use may elevate WBC count and thus mask WBC changes due to trends in the illness.

   What is a normal WBC count during sepsis?

   • WBC count may be decreased (< 4,000/mcL [< 4 × 109/L]) or increased (> 15,000/mcL [> 15 × 109/L]), and polymorphonuclear leukocytes may be as low as 20%. During the course of sepsis, the WBC count may fluctuate, depending on the severity of sepsis or shock, the patient's immunologic status, and the etiology of the infection.

   What does a high sepsis score mean?

   • The scores range from 0 to 4, with high scores signifying higher predicted mortality and the likelihood of requiring intensive care. The incidence of sepsis is estimated to be 189 hospital-treated cases per 100,000 person-years. The mortality of hospital-treated sepsis is estimated to be 26.7%.
