Abstract

Sepsis is a intricate pathological process characterized by life-threatening organ dysfunction resulting from a dysregulated host response to infection. It stands as a prominent cause of mortality among critically ill patients globally. The pivotal focus in sepsis management lies in the early identification and prompt administration of antimicrobial agents. Owing to the constraints of current diagnostic methodologies, marked by insufficient sensitivity and delayed outcomes, extensive research has been undertaken to ascertain novel biomarkers for sepsis. In this review, we provide an overview discussing the latest advancements in the study of PTX-3 as a biomarker for sepsis. We acknowledge pivotal discoveries from preceding research and engage in discourse regarding the challenges and limitations confronted by PTX-3 as a sepsis biomarker.
