Abstract
Sepsis is characterised by a dysregulated host immune response to infection. Despite recognition of its significance, immune status monitoring is not implemented in clinical practice due in part to the current absence of direct therapeutic implications. Technological advances in immunological profiling could enhance our understanding of immune dysregulation and facilitate integration into clinical practice. In this Review, we provide an overview of the current state of immune profiling in sepsis, including its use, current challenges, and opportunities for progress. We highlight the important role of immunological biomarkers in facilitating predictive enrichment in current and future treatment scenarios. We propose that multiple immune and non-immune-related parameters, including clinical and microbiological data, be integrated into diagnostic and predictive combitypes, with the aid of machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques. These combitypes could form the basis of workable algorithms to guide clinical decisions that make precision medicine in sepsis a reality and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Background & objectives Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a frequent participant in the infectious process in critically ill patients. This study aimed to determine the incidence of HCMV reactivation in critically ill patients and estimate the clinical effect of reactivation on the course of the pathological process. Methods To determine the incidence of HCMV reactivation, plasma and sputum samples were collected from 82 critically ill patients. HCMV reactivation was determined by quantitative PCR together with the presence of circulating HCMV IgG in the plasma. The statistical analysis of clinical data employed methods of descriptive (median with 95% confidence interval; minimum and maximum values, interquartile range) and nonparametric statistics [Mann-Whitney U test, odds ratio (OR), Kaplan-Meier survival analysis]. Results HCMV reactivation was found in 36.6 per cent of cases. An association between the presence of sepsis and the development of HCMV reactivation (P<0.001), as well as higher HCMV viral loads in septic patients, was found. There was also an association between the presence of HCMV DNA and the subsequent development of sepsis (OR=1.504). The involvement of HCMV in the emerging immunological shifts manifested by a decrease in CD8+ T-lymphocytes (P=0.01) and an increase in the immunoregulatory index (P=0.03) was found. Interpretation & conclusions HCMV reactivation can influence the course of bacterial pathology with a deteriorating effect on such groups of patients. Monitoring the viral load of latent HCMV can be helpful in the assessment of the host immune status, the course of the pathological process, and its clinical prognosis.
