Brief Summary

Severe sepsis and septic shock are the most severe forms of sepsis (which associates a systemic inflammatory response with infection). These are serious pathologies with a lethality estimated at almost 40% at 28 days (after the onset of sepsis). After a first pro-inflammatory phase, a second compensatory phase called Compensatory Anti-Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CARS) takes place quickly. Patients then show signs of immunosuppression and profound alterations in immune functions. It is during this phase that the vast majority of deaths occur, far from the onset of the shock, which is related to the inability of the immune system to eliminate the initial infectious agent and / or a greater susceptibility Important to develop secondary infections (nosocomial infection, latent virus reactivation ...). The CARS phase has been the subject of studies focusing on measuring the plasma concentration of anti-inflammatory cytokines (such as Interleukin (IL) -10), the percentage of regulatory T lymphocytes (Treg), Or the percentage of monocytic expression of HLA-DR in septic patients. The investigator proposes to carry out the first study on a newly described regulatory lymphocytic subpopulation: regulatory B lymphocytes (Breg) from a quantitative and functional point of view in severe septic states.

Adult patients with severe sepsis

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Adult patients with severe sepsis or septic shock diagnosed less than 24 hours (defined as D0) and hospitalized in the medical resuscitation department of the Amiens-Picardie University Hospital.
• The definitions of severe sepsis and septic shock are the result of the consensus of the Société de Réanimation de Langue Française dating from 2005:
• Sepsis refers to a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in the presence of suspected or identified infection. Sepsis is said to be severe when lactate\> 4 mmol / L or arterial hypotension prior to filling or organ dysfunction is present (one is sufficient): hypoxemia with a PaO2 / FIO2 \<300 ratio, renal failure with Hepatic insufficiency with INR\> 4 or bilirubin\> 78 μmol / l, thrombocytopenia (platelets \<100 000 / mm3) and hepatic insufficiency\> 176 μmol / l, coagulation disorders with INR\> 1.5 Disorders of higher functions with a Glasgow Coma Score \<13.
• Finally, septic shock is defined as a severe sepsis condition with persistent hypotension despite a well-conducted vascular filling (20-40 ml / kg isotonic saline).

You may not qualify if:

• Patient with active neoplasia, immune deficiency, autoimmune disease or autoimmune disease.
• Patient under tutorship or curatorship
• Taking an immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive treatment at the time of the study or the year prior to hospitalization for sepsis.
• Antecedent or haematopoietic graft in progress.
• Pregnancy in progress.
• Known history of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 or 2 or with hepatitis B or C virus
• Patient with agranulocytosis (defined as neutrophils \<0.5 G / L).
