This balance of the immune and neuroendocrine axes will provide a response on the host regarding the SIRS process. In the elderly patient, there is a qualitative and quantitative deficiency of endogenous pyrogens and the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 among others, and therefore there is a proliferation of cell clones with low affinity for cytotoxic and humoral cell expansion.
