Re: “Changes in lipid metabolism in pediatric patients with severe sepsis and septic shock”

We would like to congratulate the authors [1] for their careful and interesting article, and offer some considerations and questions regarding their work on pediatric sepsis. We became interested in the association 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 on pediatric septic patients [1] is welcome and precious.
