The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1) is a receptor of the innate immune system, expressed mostly by myeloid cells and primarily associated with pro- inflammatory responses. Although the exact nature of its ligands has not yet been fully elucidated, many microorganisms or danger signals have been proposed as inducers of its activation or the secretion of sTREM-1, the soluble form with putative anti-inflammatory effects. In the course of the 20 years since its first description, several studies have investigated the involvement of TREM-1 in bacterial infections. However, the number of studies describing the role of TREM-1 in fungal, viral and parasite-associated infections has only increased in the last few years, showing a diverse contribution of the receptor in these scenarios, with beneficial or detrimental activities depending on the context. Therefore, this review aims to discuss how TREM-1 may influence viral, fungal and parasitic infection outcomes, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target and biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of non-bacterial infectious diseases.
