Are increased plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids associated with increased mortality in a cohort of patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa?
PAI-1 concentrations in bBALs correlated with mortality in ventilated patients with positive cultures for P. aeruginosa. Elevated bBAL PAI-1 concentrations also correlated with the secretion of type III exotoxins by P. aeruginosa.
