Comparative analysis of monocyte distribution width alterations in <i>Escherichia coli</i> sepsis: insights from <i>in vivo</i> and <i>ex vivo</i> models Open
Objectives Monocyte distribution width (MDW) is an early sepsis indicator measuring monocyte heterogeneity during massive infection. We compared MDW changes in Escherichia coli sepsis patients with the effects of living E. coli and lipopol…
