For this purpose we measured soluble triggering receptor expression on myeloid cells-1 sTREM-1 in alveolar and peritoneal fluid. Methods Consecutive patients n 21 with acute or decompensated chronic abdominal disease and acute respiratory failure were included. sTREM was measured in alveolar A-sTREM and peritoneal P-sTREM fluids. Results An infection was diagnosed in all patients. Nine patients had a lung infection without abdominal infection 5 had an abdominal infection without lung infection and seven had both infections. A-sTREM was higher in the patients with pneumonia compared to those without pneumonia 1963 ng ml 1010-3129 vs. 862 ng ml 333-1011 P . Patients with abdominal infection had an increase in the P-sTREM compared to patients without abdominal infection 1941 ng ml 1088-3370 vs. 305 ng ml 288-459 P . A cut-off point of 900 pg ml of A-sTREM-1 had a sensitivity of 81 and a specificity of 80 NPV 57 PPV 93 AUC for the diagnosis of pneumonia. In abdominal infections a cut-off point for P-sTREM of 900 pg ml had the best results sensitivity 92 specificity 100 NPV 90 PPV 100 AUC . Conclusions sTREM-1 measured in alveolar and peritoneal fluids is useful in assessing pulmonary and peritoneal infection in critical-state patients-A-sTREM .
