Slide 2

The urgency of the problem

The incidence of NHS in newborns is 8-10%. The frequency of recurrence is 30%. These children are considered to be a contingent of "high risk" The main reason - bacterial infections - 4-12 per 1000 live births 4% of newborns with a localized form of infection develop a clinical picture of sepsis Untimely diagnosis and treatment of NHS leads to the disability of children

Slide 3

Etiology

Group B streptococci (meningitis), C (sepsis) Staphylococci: coagulase-negative stamps St. epidermidis, St. saprophiticus, St. hemoliticus Gram-negative flora - Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, enterobacter antibiotic resistance Candida (frequency up to 12% - meningitis, osteoarthritis, tracheitis)

Slide 4

Localization and nature of the lesion

Staphylococci - skin, subcutaneous fat, bones, lungs - mastitis, phlegmon, abscess Gram-negative flora - gastrointestinal tract, joints, urinary system, meningitis

Slide 5

Epidemiology

Source of infection - mother of a child, medical staff, sick children, environment Ways of transmission: Intrauterine infection Transplacental Contaminated - through infected amniotic fluid: ascending, descending, contact 2. Airborne 3. Contact - hands of personnel, care items 4. Alimentary - milk , solutions for drinking

Slide 6

Risk factors

Unfavorable obstetric history: infertility, somatic diseases, extragenital pathology Pathological course of pregnancy - anemia, urogenital pathology, respiratory diseases during pregnancy, hypoxia Pathological course of labor - prolonged anhydrous periol, obstetric intervention, premature labor The need for resuscitation, intubation and intensity of therapy: , catheterization of great vessels, tube feeding Artificial feeding from the first days of life

Slide 7

Purulent-inflammatory skin diseases of newborns

Anatomical and physiological features of the skin: The skin is soft, velvety, supplied with blood vessels. Muscle and elastic fibers are poorly developed. The skin easily loses water when the temperature rises and dyspepsia The epidermis is loose, thin, easily peels off, the basement membrane is underdeveloped - rapid development of diaper rash and blistering Imperfection of innervation, thermoregulation - increased heat transfer (hypothermia), overheating with the development of prickly heat Reduced protective function of the skin, insufficient local immunity , a neutral skin reaction, which contributes to frequent maceration, the development of diaper rash, the reproduction of microorganisms.

The clinical picture of purulent-septic diseases

  • Slide 9

    Staphylococcus lesion

    Bullous impetigo-group of superficial skin infections caused primarily by Staphylococcus aureus The incubation period is 1-10 days 30% of people are carriers of the Staphylococcus aureus strain. , in the navel, skin folds

    Slide 10

    Forms of bullous impetigo

    Vesiculopustulosis - the disease is caused by inflammation in the area of ​​the mouths of the sweat glands and is manifested by the fact that on the skin of the thighs, buttocks, natural folds, the head there are small bubbles filled with transparent and then cloudy contents. The course is good.

    Slide 11

    Slide 12

    Forms of bullous impetigo

    Pemphigus of newborns (pemphigus). Benign - blisters 0.5-1 cm at different stages of development, serous-purulent contents. Nikolsky's symptom is negative. After opening, erosion, an increase in body temperature to subfebrile numbers. Recovery in 2-3 weeks. Malignant - a significant number of large blisters - up to 2-3 cm in diameter. Nikolsky's symptom may be positive. The condition is serious, intoxication, febrile temperature, sepsis may develop. In the blood - leukocytosis, neutrophilia, shift of the leukocyte formula to the left, accelerated ESR.

    Slide 13

    Slide 14

    C) Ritter's exfoliative dermatitis is the most severe form (septic pemphigus). Called by pathogenic strains of Staphylococcus aureus, which produces exotoxin-exfoliatin. Stages of the disease: Erythematous Exfoliative Regenerative Manifestations: Redness, oozing of the skin and the formation of cracks in the navel, groin folds, around the mouth. Erythema spreads to the skin of the abdomen, trunk, extremities. Nikolsky's symptom is positive. The body resembles "scalded with boiling water." A serious condition, an increase in body temperature. Staphylococcal Burned Skin Syndrome

    Slide 15

    Slide 16

    Pseudofurunculosisfinger - the main manifestations are subcutaneous nodes up to 1-1.5 cm in diameter, purple-red in color, then purulent contents appear in the center. Localization: the skin of the temporal part of the head, the back of the neck, back, buttocks, limbs. It is accompanied by an increase in temperature, a reaction of regional lymph nodes, anemia, leukocytosis, accelerated ESR.

    Slide 17

    The defeat of the subcutaneous fat (SFA)

    Anatomical and physiological features: PZhK in newborns is well expressed, well-supplied with blood Insufficiently developed connective tissue bridges rapid spread of infection along the periphery Prevalence of solid fatty acids rapid formation of seals.

    Slide 18

    Necrotizing phlegmon of newborns

    One of the most severe NHS, which initially appears as a spot. There are 4 stages: Initial (acute inflammatory process). Rapid (within a few hours) spread of the lesion.Alternative necrotic stage occurs after 1-1.5 days, areas of the skin are purple-bluish, softening in the center Stage of rejection - necrosis of exfoliated skin - wound defects with undermined edges (purulent pockets) Stage reparations - the development of granulation tissue, epithelialization of the wound surface with the formation of scars The disease proceeds against a background of high temperature, vomiting, dyspeptic foci of infection - sepsis

    Slide 19

    Mastitis in newborns

    Classification of neonatal sepsis When drawing up a clinical classification of the disease, it is necessary to take into account the time and conditions for the onset of blood infection - developed before
    the birth of a child, after birth; localization
    entrance gate and / or primary septic focus,
    clinical features of the disease. These parameters
    characterize the etiological spectrum of the disease,
    the volume and nature of therapeutic, preventive and
    anti-epidemic measures. Exactly these
    parameters are advisable to use in
    classification of sepsis in newborns.

    By development time:
    intrauterine;
    Postneonatal
    On the localization of the entrance gates:
    umbilical;
    pulmonary;
    cutaneous;
    abdominal;
    catheterization;
    intestinal.
    Depending on the clinical course
    distinguish between:
    Lightning sepsis -
    characterized by a turbulent current with
    the development of septic shock during
    1-2 days
    Acute sepsis - lasts up to 6 weeks
    Subacute sepsis - up to 3 months,
    sometimes longer

    Pathogenesis. The entrance gates of infection are: the umbilical wound, injured skin and mucous membranes (at the injection site,

    Pathogenesis. Entrance gate
    infections are: umbilical
    wound, injured skin and
    mucous membranes (in place
    injection, catheterization,
    intubations, probes, etc.),
    intestines, lungs, less often - medium
    ear, eyes, urinary tract. V
    cases where the entrance gate
    infections are not established,
    diagnose cryptogenic
    sepsis.

    The source of infection can be nursing staff
    and a sick child. By transmission
    infections are the birth canal of the mother,
    hands of personnel, tools, equipment,
    care items.
    The following are the main links of pathogenesis
    sepsis: entrance gate, local
    inflammatory focus, bacteremia,
    sensitization and restructuring
    immunological reactivity of the body,
    septicemia and septicopyemia.

    Clinic.

    The earliest and most frequent symptoms of sepsis in
    newborns include lack of appetite, breast refusal
    and discoloration of the skin. The skin becomes
    pale or pale gray due to disturbance
    microcirculation in capillaries. Often observed
    cyanosis (cyanosis) of the fingertips, nasolabial
    triangle.

    The umbilical cord remains dropped
    late, umbilical ring
    can acquire
    reddish tint due to
    development of local
    inflammation. Sometimes
    the only manifestation
    incipient sepsis
    there is sluggish sucking,
    poor weight gain,
    regurgitation after
    feeding as a manifestation
    intoxication.

    Sepsis in newborns can develop in two
    forms:
    The child is declining
    1. Septicemic - motor, reflex and
    develops in weak suction activity,
    subfebrile condition is observed,
    birth and
    premature babies, hypotension, stubborn
    has a severe regurgitation, flatulence,
    dyspeptic disorders.
    with pronounced
    The child does not gain weight and
    intoxication.
    subsequent dynamics
    weight gain
    becomes negative.
    Pale gray skin
    colors with marble pattern.
    Acrocyanosis appears. V
    severe cases develops
    hemorrhagic syndrome.

    2. Septicopyemic -
    characterized by
    the presence of purulent
    foci in bones, skin,
    brain, lungs
    and in other bodies and
    tissues. It flows sharply
    the development of toxicosis with
    subsequent
    pronounced
    hypotrophy.
    Characterized sharply
    pronounced
    intoxication and almost
    simultaneously
    developing
    plural
    purulent foci
    (osteomyelitis, purulent
    otitis media, abscesses, phlegmon,
    phlebitis, destruction
    lungs, etc.),
    hemorrhagic
    syndrome, anemia,
    drop in body weight,
    sometimes rashes on
    skin.

    Diagnostics

    The diagnosis is based on
    signs of infection in
    prenatal period and in
    childbirth, the presence of several
    foci of infection,
    severity of common
    symptoms sowing out
    blood and foci of purulent
    defeat of the same type
    microflora, inflammatory
    changes in blood tests and
    urine. Should be considered,
    which is not always possible to highlight
    pathogen from blood.
    Differential diagnosis
    spend with
    immunodeficiencies,
    intrauterine infection
    (cytomegaly, toxoplasmosis),
    acute leukemia, severe
    flow at a single
    purulent focus of infection.

    Care, treatment, prevention.

    A child suspected of having sepsis should have
    immediately isolated in an infectious disease box. In that
    period, it is advisable to continue feeding the baby
    breast milk - by latching on to the breast, or
    expressed in bottles.
    Children whose condition is serious are fed through a tube.
    If the baby is fed with mixtures, then it will be preferable
    sour mixture containing fermented milk living flora,
    increases the immunity of the baby and is easier to digest.

    The child needs
    feed even more often -
    increase the number
    feedings for 1-2 in
    day. The mother must
    support the baby,
    perform toilet skin
    and mucous membranes,
    do massage and
    stroking the feet and
    hands, kneading
    fingers.

    Prevention of neonatal sepsis
    is planning a pregnancy with
    visits to the gynecologist, medical management
    pregnancy and treatment of maternal diseases,
    correct management of childbirth, cleanliness of hospital
    premises and tools, timely
    medical examinations of hospital staff, thorough
    compliance with all the rules of personal hygiene, and
    also the hygiene of the maternity hospital.

    Treatment for sepsis is
    maintaining high resistance
    child by repeated transfusions
    blood, glucose, ascorbic
    acid. Necessarily urgent
    the appointment of penicillin 15,000-25,000
    units per 1 kg of body weight per day with 3-4 administrations a day. In very heavy
    cases, a combination with
    sulfonamides or streptocide. V
    protracted cases can
    try the treatment in the form
    intravenous administration of ellargol. WITH
    collapse is fought by appointment
    camphor, caffeine, ghalena, hot water bottle,
    hot baths or body wraps. At
    the presence of seizures is prescribed
    chloral hydrate, urethane, luminal. At
    the presence of abscesses, boils and
    etc. use disinfectants
    bath fluids, topical penicillin.

    1. Intrauterine infection 1) Hematogenous route 2) Through the natural openings of the fetus 2. During childbirth due to infection with amniotic fluid and discharge during their aspiration. More often at birth: 1. Sources - mother 2. Attendants 3. Staff clothing 4. Care items 5. Patients with a bacterial carrier


    A number of anatomical and physiological factors Immaturity: 1) cerebral cortex; 2) the endocrine system; 3) skin and lymph. systems; 4) detoxifying function of the liver 5) excretory function of the kidneys Factors that reduce the reactivity of the body: 1) prematurity; 2) irrational feeding; 3) decrease in T environment; 4) birth injury


    Clinical manifestations 1. Violation of the general condition (agitation, sleep disturbance, cry, lethargy); 2. Decreased sucking activity or complete rejection of the breast; 3. Significant loss of body weight with a sufficient amount of milk from the mother. 4. Decrease or loss of physiological reflexes. 5. Changes in skin color, a drop in turgor, skin rashes. 6. Temperature reaction of varying duration and character.


    7. Regurgitation, vomiting, dyspeptic symptoms. 8. Enlargement of the liver and spleen. 9. Rapid breathing, shortness of breath, cyanosis without much change in the lungs. 10. Deafness of tones, noise, tachycardia, falling A / D. 11. Decreased urine output, the appearance of protein, leukocytes, casts. 12. Leukocytosis with neutrophilic shift. Acceleration of ESR, anemia. 13. Jaundice (conjugation, thickening of bile) due to hemolysis of erythrocytes to the death of hepatocytes under the influence of toxins. In severe cases, septic hepatitis. 14. Encephalopathy in some children.


    The main organ and system disorders observed in sepsis Respiratory system: - respiratory alkalosis; - hyperventilation; - weakening of the respiratory muscles; - adult respiratory distress syndrome; - diffuse infiltrates in the lungs; - the need for respiratory support


    Cardiovascular system: - an increase in cardiac output at the onset of the disease; - decrease in peripheral resistance, vasodilation (preshock); - damage to the endothelium, decreased vascular tone and blood pressure (early shock); - myocardial depression, decreased cardiac output; - vasoconstriction, organ hypoperfusion; - refractory hypotension (late shock)


    Mental status: - brain hypoperfusion, increased production of endorphins; - disorientation; lethargy; confused consciousness; - excitement or lethargy; - stupor, coma. Urinary system: - renal hypoperfusion; - damage to the renal tubules (azotemia and oliguria).




    Hematological parameters: - neutrophilic leukocytosis in the initial stage (not always!); - vacuolization and toxic granularity of neutrophils (always); - thrombocytopenia, disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome; - eosinopenia; - a decrease in serum iron (the phenomenon of redistribution and binding to proteins) as a constant symptom










    Directions of therapy 1. Influence on the pathogen 2. Substitutional immunotherapy 3. Rehabilitation of piemic foci 4. Treatment of syndromes) DIC, NPC) 5. Therapy aimed at stabilizing metabolic processes 6. Treatment of concomitant diseases 7. Treatment of side effects of drug therapy (dysbacteriosis, candidomycosis )


    Antibiotic therapy 1. Correct choice of antibiotics 2. Adequacy of its dose 3. Two antibiotics (synergism) 4. Penicillin, as a debut antibiotic, should be used: 1) when sensitivity to it is identified; 2) in the absence of disseminated intravascular coagulation; 3) with moderate intoxication.

    Neonatal
    sepsis

    Sepsis in newborns, or
    neonatal sepsis, called
    sepsis that occurs and proceeds in
    during the first month of a child's life.

    The urgency of the problem is determined by:

    1.High incidence of newborns
    from 0.1 to 0.4-0.8% - in full-term
    about 1% - in premature babies
    16 - 18% - in children weighing less than 1500 g.
    2.High lethality
    20 - 30% - in full-term
    50 - 80% - in premature babies
    3.Complexity of diagnosis
    due to the absence of specific symptoms
    sepsis in newborns and variety
    clinical picture

    Definition of sepsis

    Sepsis is generalized
    bacterial disease with acyclic
    current, caused, as a rule, conditionally -
    pathogenic microflora, characterized by
    the presence of primary purulent -
    inflammatory focus and / or bacteremia,
    accompanied by the development of inadequate
    systemic inflammatory response (SVR) and
    multiple organ failure (MOF).

    Etiology and pathogenesis

    Sepsis is a disease
    polyetiological. Cause of sepsis
    can be almost all types conditionally
    - pathogenic and a number of pathogenic
    microorganisms: staphylococci,
    streptococci, intestinal bacteria
    groups, pseudo-manages, anaerobes, etc.

    To date, in the etiological
    structure:
    Staphylococcus - 50%
    Gram-negative flora - 38%
    Mixed etiology - 10 - 15%

    Classification of sepsis

    When formulating a clinical diagnosis
    note:
    Time of development of the septic process
    (intrauterine, postnatal)
    Entrance gate (primary hearth)
    Etiology of sepsis
    Clinical course (fulminant, acute,
    protracted)
    Pathogenetic form (septicemia,
    septicopyemia, septic shock)
    Complications of sepsis (DIC, septic shock,
    multiple organ failure)

    Examples of clinical diagnosis:

    Intrauterine sepsis, unspecified
    etiology, septicemia: 2-sided
    pneumonia, catarrhal omphalitis,
    enterocolitis.
    Complications: toxic hepatitis, disseminated intravascular coagulation (pulmonary hemorrhage), acute renal failure.

    Neonatal umbilical sepsis
    staphylococcal etiology,
    septicopyemia: purulent omphalitis,
    purulent meningitis, 2-sided
    destructive pneumonia.
    Complications: disseminated intravascular coagulation (melena,
    VChK ?, hemorrhages in the internal
    organs), toxic hepatitis, acute renal failure, OGM.

    Clinical picture

    No characteristic symptoms of sepsis
    newborns!
    They are determined by etiology
    pathogen, time of infection
    the child and the characteristics of the body
    specific patient.
    Breathes badly!
    Poorly absorbs food!
    Looks bad!

    Septicemia

    resulting from
    antenatal (intrauterine)
    infection, already in the first days (1-3
    days) life is accompanied by:
    Serious general condition
    Progressive depression of function
    CNS
    Hypothermia, less often hyperthermia
    Pale or dirty gray coloration
    skin

    Early and fast
    progressive jaundice
    Progressive edema syndrome
    Enlarged liver and spleen
    Respiratory failure (often
    in the absence of radiological
    symptoms)
    Development of hemorrhagic syndrome
    Dyspeptic disorders
    (regurgitation, vomiting, stool disturbances)

    Sepsis after birth

    characterized by a more gradual
    the beginning.
    After the introduction of an infectious agent
    the latent period is 2-5 days
    up to 2-3 weeks (in premature babies)
    Therefore, in the clinical picture, conditionally
    allocate: precursors of the disease, early
    symptoms and the midst of the process.

    To the harbingers of sepsis

    can be attributed:
    Decreased activity
    Decreased appetite
    Dyspeptic disorders
    Late fall-off of the umbilical cord
    Signs of inflammation of the umbilical wound and
    umbilical vessels

    Further development of sepsis

    characterized by:
    Onset of symptoms
    infectious toxicosis (lethargy, hypo or hyperthermia, gray skin coloration
    covers)
    Signs of toxic damage
    internal organs (toxic hepatitis,
    toxic damage to the kidneys, myocardium,
    intestines, etc.)

    Septicopyemia

    Characterized by the presence of purulent
    metastases (dropout foci) in the background
    pronounced infectious
    toxicosis.
    Most frequent localization
    pyemic foci are:
    meninges, lungs, bones,
    less often other organs

    The course of sepsis

    Lightning fast (3-7 days)
    Acute (4-6 weeks)
    Prolonged (more than 6 weeks)

    Lightning current = septic shock
    - Catastrophic increase in severity
    fortunes
    - Sharp pallor of the skin
    - Bradycardia, deafness of heart sounds,
    arterial hypotension
    - Microcirculatory kidney blockade, ARF
    - "Shock lung"
    - Progressive hemorrhagic
    syndrome

    Features of sepsis in premature infants

    Get sick 10 times more often than full-term
    Most often in the form of septicemia
    The beginning is gradual, the course is sluggish,
    oligosymptomatic (the child is "wasting away")
    More frequent and faster severe anemia
    Dysbiosis is more pronounced
    The development of necrotizing ulcerative enterocolitis with perforation is specific.
    ulcers and the development of peritonitis
    Often - leuko- and neutropenia in the blood test

    Diagnosis of sepsis

    based on the assessment:
    Risk factors for the development of septic
    infections
    Clinical picture in dynamics
    diseases
    Laboratory indicators

    Factors contributing to the development of sepsis in newborns

    Immaturity of immunological and protective
    systems of the newborn
    Fetal hypoxia and acidosis
    Hyperbilirubinemia
    Prematurity
    ZVUR
    Anhydrous period more than 18 hours
    Meconium in amniotic fluid

    Chorioamnionitis in the mother
    Maternal urinary tract infection
    An increase in the mother's temperature during
    childbirth
    Indomethacin for the mother,
    dexamethasone, prostaglandin E, etc.
    Resuscitation measures:
    Mechanical ventilation, catheterization, etc.
    Combination of two or more factors
    increases the risk of sepsis by 4-8 times

    Signs of SVR

    Increase in body temperature more
    38 º or decrease less than 36º

    Etiology of the disease

    Defined by identification
    pathogen in blood cultures and from
    purulent foci taken before
    antibiotic therapy and in dynamics
    diseases.
    It is also possible to use PCR diagnostics, ELISA.

    Sepsis treatment

    Sepsis therapy is performed in two
    main directions:
    Impact on the causative agent of the disease
    (rehabilitation of primary and metastatic foci,
    antibiotic therapy)
    Impact on the patient's body
    (therapy for homeostasis disorders, including
    immune homeostasis, organ correction
    violations)

    General principles for choosing antibiotic therapy

    The choice of starting therapy depends on:
    Time of infection
    Conditions of occurrence (community-acquired,
    hospital)
    Character premorbid baby background
    Localization of the primary focus
    Microbial landscape branch where
    there is a child

    The drugs of choice are:
    broad spectrum antibiotics
    actions,
    bactericidal,
    active in
    potential
    causative agents of sepsis, including
    causative agents - associates.

    When clarifying the character
    microflora and its sensitivity,
    therapy is corrected, produced
    change of drugs.
    Alternative drugs
    prescribed in the absence of effect
    or stabilization of the state after 48 to 72 hours from the start of the starting therapy.

    Dispensary observation

    All patients who have had sepsis
    observed during the 1st year
    Pediatrician check-up - monthly
    Blood test - one month after discharge,
    further - according to indications, but at least 1 time in 3

    Sepsis of newborns Is a syndrome that manifests itself with clinical signs of infection in the presence of positive bacterial cultures of blood, urine and / or cerebrospinal fluid in infants of the first month of life.

    Sepsis is a generalized infectious disease of a polyetiological nature that develops against the background of altered body reactivity.

    Sepsis of a newborn

    Was first obtained by Yippo in 1919 when a positive blood culture was obtained from a deceased child.

    However, until 1930, there were no more reports in the pediatric literature of such a diagnosis.

    In 1933, Dunham describes 33 cases of neonatal sepsis

    In 60% of cases, the disease begins in the first week of life, in 10% of the symptoms occur immediately after birth

    In 1949, Silverman and Homan describe 25 children with sepsis who had a positive blood culture

    The term Systemic inflammatory response

    syndrome (SIRS) - a systemic inflammatory reaction, adopted at the suggestion of Roger Bonet (1991) to define sepsis as a documented infection +

    at least 2 signs of SIRS:

    Body temperature above 38 ° C or below 36 ° C

    Tachycardia above 90 beats per minute

    Tachypnea over 20 per minute

    The number of leukocytes is above 12x10 / μl, below 4x10 / μl, and the number of young forms of polymorphonuclear neutrophils exceeds 10%.

    A systemic inflammatory response is a general biological nonspecific immunocytological response of the human body in response to the action of a damaging endogenous or exogenous factor. If sepsis develops, SVR develops in response to primary purulent-inflammatory focus. CBR is characterized by an increase, mainly, in the production of pro-inflammatory and, to a lesser extent, anti-inflammatory cytokines by almost all cells of the human body, including immunocompetent ones.

    It has been established that the direct cause of systemic generalized inflammation in sepsis is the uncontrolled release of endogenous inflammatory mediators in the infectious focus (“mediator chaos”) and the lack of mechanisms limiting their damaging effect.

    A common factor uniting all pathogens is microbial toxins, both exotoxins and endotoxins. The action of exotoxins or endotoxins leaves some, but not fundamental, imprint on the clinic and the outcome of sepsis.

    Only from these positions can one explain such an unusual, stereotyped, and not specific reactivity of the organism, since it is based not on microbial invasion as such, but on the response of the immune system to microbial toxins, which are weak antigens.

    In sepsis, there are no pronounced specific antigenic determinants, since the body's response is caused by toxins that are weak in antigenic terms. When they appear in the blood, macrophages probably recognize a foreign protein, but cannot identify specific antigenic determinants and, accordingly, provide the immune system with information about a specific pathogen. Macrophages in the focus of inflammation are "blinded" and information from the immune system is disrupted. In this situation, there is a hyperfunction of macrophages that respond to foreign influences, but are not able to determine the antigen.

    Macrophages begin to throw out all biologically active substances contained in them. There is an inexpedient and unlimited release of various cytokines by macrophages, both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory - IL 4, 10, 13, soluble receptors to TNF, etc. The formation of tissue and plasma mediators of inflammation and simultaneously reactants of the acute phase is also chaotically stimulated. All this leads to the development of the so-called "mediator chaos".

    The predominance of the destructive effects of cytokines and other mediators of inflammation leads to impaired permeability and function of the capillary endothelium, impaired microcirculation, induction DIC syndrome.

    As a result of all these processes, a systemic inflammatory response develops, which is also uncontrollable. due to the discoordination of various regulatory systems of the body that do not have information about a specific aggressor, its localization and processes occurring in each specific organ and system.

    Thus, if we assume that the peculiar reactivity in sepsis is the response of the immune system not to microbial invasion as such, but to microbial toxins, then the features of sepsis become clear. Only from these positions can one explain such an unusual, stereotypical, and not specific reactivity of the organism in septicemia, because it is based not on microbial invasion, as such, but on the reaction of the immune system to microbial toxins. Sepsis for the pathogen is polyetiological, however, the body's main reaction is not to a microbe, but to a toxin that does not have the specificity of pathogens - it can only be either endotoxin or exotoxin
