摘要

The present invention pertains to the use of a blood mannan-binding lectin (MBL) regulator for the manufacture of a life saving drug to treat or cure a critically ill patient. It further involves the use of measurements of MBL to predict mortality in critically ill ICU patients. One further aspect of present invention is to the use of monomers and oligomers of MBL in prophylactic and/or curative treatment of patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs).
