Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Influenza is still responsible for more than 650,000 deaths per year worldwide and no major improvements in patients' care has been made despite 50 years of research. Especially, there is no therapeutic strategy targeting the dysregulated host response. CXCR4-expressing neutrophils seem to be involved in the rupture of host resistance. The aim of this study is thus to compare the percentage of blood CXCR4-expressing neutrophils between influenza survivors and non-survivors.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Influenza is still responsible for more than 650,000 deaths per year worldwide and no major improvements in patients' care has been made despite 50 years of research. Most of severe influenza patients suffer from acute lung injury due to a dysregulated immune response. Neutrophils are involved in both host resistance and disease tolerance. Thanks to advances in technologies, the vast variety in neutrophils subpopulations has been revealed. In particular, the subpopulation of CXCR4-expressing neutrophils has been suggested to be involved in the rupture of disease tolerance in lung infections. Nevertheless, these data are from murine models and remain to be confirmed in humans. Moreover, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown as well as the place of primum movens, i.e. vascular or alveolar compartment. The aim of this study is thus to compare the percentage of blood CXCR4-expressing neutrophils between influenza survivors and non-survivors. Percentage of BAL CXCR4-expressing neutrophils will also be compared. To this aim, blood sampling and BAL within the 24 hours and at day 3 after admission to ICU, neutrophils isolation, immunostaining and flow cytometry acquisition will be performed within the 24 hours and at day 3 after admission to ICU. Mortality rate will be collected at Day 28 and Day 90.
