Pathophysiology of Sepsis
Background: Sepsis, a systemic inflammatory response to infection, resulting in organ failure and death. Pathogenic microbial agents trigger cascades of events in sepsis by stimulating the host’s immune system. Macrophages require surface receptors to present pathogenic molecule to Toll-like receptors (TLRs) to be activated and release proinflammatory cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor (T...
متن کاملSepsis: Pathophysiology and Treatment
Few pathogens cause sepsis. The majority of sepsis causing bacteria is facultative anaerobes. This type of respiration is the most flexible and it facilitates pathogen survival, proliferation and dissemination in human tissues and blood. Other conditions for causing sepsis are thick slime layer and capsule, as well as production of antioxidant enzymes and substances (superoxide dismutase (SOD),...
متن کاملSepsis: pathophysiology and clinical management.
Sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock represent increasingly severe systemic inflammatory responses to infection. Sepsis is common in the aging population, and it disproportionately affects patients with cancer and underlying immunosuppression. In its most severe form, sepsis causes multiple organ dysfunction that can produce a state of chronic critical illness characterized by severe immune ...

متن کاملPathophysiology of sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction
Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction is a common complication in septic patients and is associated with increased mortality. In the clinical setting, it was once believed that myocardial dysfunction was not a major pathological process in the septic patients, at least in part, due to the unavailability of suitable clinical markers to assess intrinsic myocardial function during sepsis. Although...
