Plasma fibronectin (pFN) levels were measured in 52 patients throughout their stay in an intensive care unit. At the same time a close watch was kept for signs of sepsis. Low pFN levels regularly accompanied--but did not precede--infectious episodes and were also found in patients without septic complications. These findings indicate that a fall in pFN does not constitute a factor of increased susceptibility to infection.
