Changes in plasma lipid profiles in sepsis

We would like to congratulate the Authors [1] for their careful and interesting article, and portend some considerations and questions regarding their work on pediatric sepsis. We became interested on the relationship between severe hypocholesterolemia and poor outcome in septic adults by serendipity, as cholesterol has long been part of the standard biochemistry profile of our surgical patients. After a few decades, doubts and uncertainty still remain and any study yielding valuable information also on pediatric septic patients [1] is welcome and precious.
