Sepsis is associated with an initial hyperinflammatory state; however, therapeutic trials targeting the inflammatory response have yielded disappointing results. It is now appreciated that septic patients often undergo a period of relative immunosuppression, rendering them susceptible to secondary infections. Interest in this phenomenon has led to the development of animal models to study the immune dysfunction of sepsis. In this review, we analyze the available models of sepsis-induced immunosuppression.
