Abstract:
It is increasingly evident that sepsis triggers a complex host reaction, which is responsible for a variety of pathophysiologic changes during the inflammatory process. Pentoxifylline (PTX) is a methyxanthine with selective anti inflammatory activity. The effects and mechanisms of PTX in human and animal models of sepsis are reviewed, for providing new information in treatment of sepsis.
