Excerpt

The Endotoxin Activity Assay (EAA™; Spectral Diagnostics Inc., Toronto, Canada) is a useful diagnostic test for sepsis due to Gram-negative infection and is based on the reaction of neutrophils to endotoxin complexed with an anti-endotoxin antibody. However, the relations between values of EAA and microbiological data have not been elucidated. Our hypothesis is that EAA values correlate to the results of microbiological cultures and also severity. …
