| The use of high-dose corticosteroid has been the cornerstone in the treatment of some infective or immunologic lung diseases. |
| Eosinophils are white blood cells that participate in immunologic and allergic events. |
| However, there is little known about the immunologic effects of continuously infused low doses of hydrocortisone in septic shock. |
| Many investigators are working to identify markers that will define the immunologic status of the septic patient. |
| The most commonly encountered are Russell and butcher bodies in lymphomas, multiple myeloma, and some reactive or immunologic diseases. |
| Pulmonary surfactant plays a pivotal role for the biophysical and immunologic integrity of the lungs. |
