Sepsis is the leading cause of death in critically ill patientsin the United States. Sepsis develops in 750,000 people annually,and more than 210,000 of them die.1,2 After numerous unsuccessfultrials of antiinflammatory agents in patients with sepsis, investigatorsdoubted that mortality could be decreased. Advances in unravelingthe pathophysiology and genetic basis for the host responseto sepsis have changed the prevailing understanding of the syndrome,and several therapies have demonstrated surprising efficacy.In this article, we examine evolving concepts of sepsis anddiscuss new and potential therapies.
A Disorder Due to Uncontrolled Inflammation?
The prevailing theory has been that sepsis represents an uncontrolled. . . [Full Text of this Article]
