    Author: Chiarelli A, Casadei A, Andrian C, Ongaro G, Mazzoleni F.
    Journal: Boll Ist Sieroter Milan; 1985; 64(1):86-8. PubMed ID: 4005063.
    Abstract:
    Twenty burned patients were studied (with mean body surface area burned 46.5%, mean age 25.4 years, and mean survival probability 78%), and lactoferrin, white-cells count and blood cultures were determined. Lactoferrin was detected more frequently (P less than 0.01) in the samples of patients with positive blood cultures. The role of lactoferrin in host defense mechanism and its possible function in sepsis is considered.
