    Snippet: Acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized with respiratory dysfunction, hypoxemia with presence of diffuse pulmonary infiltrates, widespread lung inflammation 7 , increased pulmonary vascular permeability and accumulation of activated neutrophils in the lung 8 . Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the most severe form of ALI 9 . Complement activation is an early step in ALI 3 through both the classical pathway and the alternative pathway.....
    Document: Acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized with respiratory dysfunction, hypoxemia with presence of diffuse pulmonary infiltrates, widespread lung inflammation 7 , increased pulmonary vascular permeability and accumulation of activated neutrophils in the lung 8 . Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the most severe form of ALI 9 . Complement activation is an early step in ALI 3 through both the classical pathway and the alternative pathway 10 . The loss of endothelial integrity in the process of ALI/ARDS also causes injured pulmonary cells to release some tissue factors or enzymes, which would lead to the initiation of complement cascade 10, 11 . A cycle of complement activation and lung injury is consequently formed. Hence, the application of complement inhibitors should be a novel treatment strategy for infectious fever and ALI.
