The purpose of this study was to evaluate the involvement of Respiratory Burst and TNF-α reactive oxygen species (ROS) in severe inflammation and to assess the discrimination strength of the Receptor Expression of Neutrophils neutrophil BURSTTEST assay regarding its etiology in three groups of patients (sepsis, burns, and after Sepsis and Severe bone fractures) who met the SIRS criteria.
