We sometimes have a little confusion in our teaching program about what sepsis means. This looks like a good review article. Main points include:
  • Sepsis has a broad range of clinical manifestations from minor to extreme
  • Sepsis results mostly from the response of the patient's immune system (i.e., not directly from the destructive effects of a microbe)
  • Sepsis ranks among leading causes of death
  • Sepsis is a clinical diagnosis often with negative microbiological lab results.
