First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

We read with interest the paper by Tugrul et al. [1] regarding the effects of IgM-enriched immunoglobulin preparations in patients with severe sepsis managed in their intensive care unit. Apart from the global interest of reading a paper in the field of the treatment of severe sepsis and septic shock, we have an almost similar project in progress.
