[Course and outcome of surgical infections complicated with sepsis]
Abstract:
A retrospective study of 594 medical histories of patients with surgical infections suggested diagnosis of sepsis in 18.2% cases according to ACCP/SCCM criteria (1992). Pulmonary and abdominal sepsis prevailed and led to higher lethality. Sepsis developed most often as nosocomial infection caused primarily by Acinetobacter spp. and Ps.aeruginosa. Most patients were males aged from 40 to 60 years. The main causes of lethality were septic shock (49.3%) and multiple organ failure syndrome (21%). Time of surgical sanation, antibacterial therapy and its adequacy correlated with the disease outcome.

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin create...
