Excerpt

Induced hypothermia is protective in ischemia-reperfusion injury by reducing the inflammatory response and is increasingly applied in the ICU. Hypothermia may dampen host response during an infection and it is believed that induced hypothermia may carry the risk of acquiring or aggravating an infection. We investigated the effect of hypothermia on bacterial outgrowth and on the inflammatory response in a rat model of pneumococcal pneumonia. …
