Scott PY - 2019 T2 - McGraw-Hill's NAPLEX® Review Guide, 3e AB - Sepsis is a continuum of physiologic stages characterized by infection, systemic inflammation, and hypoperfusion leading to tissue injury and organ failure (Table 26-1 for definitions to utilize for sepsis syndromes). Risk factors for sepsis include extremes of age, cancer, immunodeficiency, chronic organ failure, genetic factors (male and non-white ethnic origin in North America), patients with bacteremia, and genetic polymorphisms associated with immune regulation. Pulmonary, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and bloodstream infections account for the majority of sepsis cases.
