Report: Contact us to know the TAT.
Usage: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) may have an infectious or non-infectious etiology. If the infection is suspected or proven, patients with SIRS are said to have sepsis. Microbial invasion of the bloodstream is not essential since local inflammation can also elicit distant organ dysfunction and hypotension. 70% of the cases of sepsis are due to gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria while the remaining is due to fungi and a mixture of other micro-organisms. Approximately two-thirds of the cases occur in patients with significant underlying illnesses. Rising incidents of severe sepsis are due to the aging population, chronic diseases, and the high frequency of sepsis development in AIDS.
