Simplified description of pro- and anti-inflammatory systemic immune responses over time after septic shock. The dashed lines represent pro- or anti-inflammatory responses; the bold line represents the result at the systemic level. The shift from a pro-inflammatory to an anti-inflammatory immune response predominant at the systemic level likely occurs before 24 h after diagnosis of shock.
