The present data provides early evidence that in children hospitalized with severe sepsis, histone H3 is not elevated as compared to healthy controls. H3 levels during initial days of sepsis requiring PICU admission were not different with regards to severity of illness, organ dysfunction, and clinical outcome. There was a trend towards elevated H3 in children with thrombocytopenia, which needs further evaluation.
