Brainstem inflammation was found in the areas of the cardiorespiratory control centers. Poly I:C injection led to a biphasic increase in rectal temperature and heart rate associated with an overall decrease in heart-rate variability, with no change in respiratory-rate variability. Provides unique observations on the cardiorespiratory consequences of injecting Poly I:C in a full-term newborn lamb to mimic a systemic inflammation secondary to a viral sepsis.

Although further studies are obviously needed, this might be a way to differentiate bacterial from viral sepsis in the neonatal period. Meanwhile, the absence of alterations in respiratory-rate variability is intriguing and noteworthy. The alterations in heart-rate variability induced by Poly I:C injection may be, at least partly, of central origin. Lastly, brainstem inflammation was found in the areas of the cardiorespiratory control centers 6 h after Poly I:C injection.

The latter was associated with an overall decrease in heart-rate variability, with no change in respiratory-rate variability. It also led to a biphasic increase in rectal temperature and heart rate. Poly I:C injection decreased locomotor activity and increased NREM sleep. Two 6-h polysomnographic recordings were carried out in eight lambs on two consecutive days, first after an IV saline injection, then after an IV injection of 300 μg/kg Poly I:C. We aimed to characterize these alterations by setting up a full-term newborn lamb model of systemic inflammation using polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (Poly I:C). The link between systemic inflammation with viral sepsis and cardiorespiratory alterations remains poorly understood.
