ABSTRACT

Sepsis frequency has increased during the last 20 years; in United States, for example, 500,000 sepsis cases are reported each year. Sepsis and sepsis syndrome are likely to increase into the next years as a consequence of enhanced number of immunocompromised patients, a bigger use of invasive devices and procedures, and a higher frequency of infections due to multidrug resistant microorganisms. This article reviews epidemiology, risk factors, microbiology and mortality of bacterial sepsis.
