Open Access Abstract Introduction Hospital-acquired pneumonia after surgery is one of the major causes of septic shock. The excessive inflammatory response appears to be responsible for the increased susceptibility to infections and subsequent sepsis. The primary aim of this study was to investigate immune parameters at the onset of pneumonia before the development of subsequent septic shock. The secondary aim was to investigate the usefulness of these
