Abstract: The subject of the invention is a method for making an in vitro prognosis of severity for a patient in septic shock, including the following steps: (i) the level of expression of the expression product of at least one gene chosen from the lilrb2 and lilrb1 genes is measured in vitro on the basis of a biological sample taken from the patient, (ii) the level of expression of the expression product of the at least one gene is compared with a control level of expression, of the expression product of the same gene, with a good prognosis of severity, in which a level of expression of the expression product of the at least one gene below the control level of expression indicates a poor prognosis of severity for the patient, and also a kit for implementing the method.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of in vitro or ex vivo evaluation of the risk of complications in a patient who has sustained an insult or an infection generating a systemic inflammatory response syndrome, the method being characterized in that it comprises the step of detecting, in a biological sample obtained from said patient, at least one transcript of the IL7R gene, as well as measuring, in vitro or ex vivo, the quantity of at least one transcript of the IL7R gene, in a biological sample from a patient who has sustained an insult or an infection generating a systemic inflammatory response syndrome, in order to evaluate the risk of complications, and in particular of mortality, in said patient.
