  1. The results are shown as medians and interquartile ranges [Q1–Q3] for continuous variables or numbers and percentages for categorical variables. SOFA: Sepsis-related organ failure assessment. SAPS II: Simplified acute physiology score II. ICU: Intensive care unit. Continuous laboratory variables were compared with paired Mann–Whitney U test and p-value reported is two-sided. Values were missing for 2 patients at D0 and one patient at D20. Normal values obtained from routine Immunology Lab for total lymphocyte count: [1000–2800] cells/µL, for T lymphocytes: [595 –1861] cells/µL, for CD4 + T cells: [336–1 126] cells/µL, for CD8 + T cells: [125–780] cells/µL, for mHLA-DR: [13,500–45,000] Ab/C (number of antibodies-bound per cell)
