The 79 pages that link to Sepsis, each with the reason it gives.

• InflammationBroader topic: In sepsis, an excessive or poorly controlled inflammatory response contributes to organ injury.

• Acute kidney injuryRelated: Sepsis can cause acute kidney injury, and kidney dysfunction can complicate sepsis care.

• Gram-negative bacteriaRelated: Severe Gram-negative infections can trigger sepsis through bacterial products and host inflammation.

• FeverBroader topic: Fever can accompany sepsis, though severe infection may also produce low temperature.

• Immune systemCompared with: It shows how an uncontrolled response can damage the organism it protects.

• Emergency medicineRelated: Early recognition and treatment are central to managing this rapidly progressive emergency.

• NeutrophilRelated: Neutrophil responses can help control infection yet contribute to systemic tissue damage.

• Emergency departmentRelated: Early recognition and treatment are central tasks in emergency care.

• Blood cultureRelated: Cultures can help identify the infection driving suspected sepsis.

• Innate immune systemBroader topic: Sepsis shows how an excessive, body-wide innate response can damage organs.

• Disseminated intravascular coagulationRelated: Sepsis is a frequent trigger, and identifying it directs treatment of the underlying cause.

• Acute respiratory distress syndromeRelated: Sepsis is a common systemic trigger of ARDS.

• Healthcare-associated infectionRelated: A healthcare-associated infection can progress to sepsis and organ damage.

• Surgical site infectionNarrower topic: A surgical infection can spread and trigger this systemic emergency.

• Malignant hyperthermiaCompared with: It is another cause of fever and organ injury, but infection—not anesthetic-triggered calcium release—drives it.

• BacteremiaBroader topic: Bacteremia can cause sepsis, though sepsis can occur without bacteria detectable in blood.

• Cause of deathBroader topic: It may be recorded as an immediate cause while infection or another disease began the sequence.

• MeningitisRelated: Meningitis-causing pathogens can spread through blood and cause this systemic complication.

• Streptococcus pneumoniaeNarrower topic: Invasive pneumococcal infection can trigger sepsis, especially in vulnerable patients.

• Arterial blood gas testRelated: Blood gases can reveal associated hypoxemia, acid–base changes, or impaired circulation.

• ImmunologyRelated: Sepsis demonstrates how a defense response can itself become systemically harmful.

• Septic shockNarrower topic: Septic shock is the most severe subset of sepsis.

• LactateRelated: Blood lactate can help assess illness severity and guide evaluation of impaired perfusion.

• LipopolysaccharideRelated: LPS can contribute to the inflammatory response, though sepsis has many microbial and host drivers.

• C-reactive proteinBroader topic: CRP may rise in sepsis, but its result cannot diagnose sepsis by itself.

• Multiple organ dysfunction syndromeRelated: It is a frequent cause of MODS, linking infection-triggered inflammation to organ dysfunction.

• Pattern recognition receptorRelated: Excessive microbial sensing can amplify the inflammation and tissue injury characteristic of sepsis.

• Post-intensive care syndromeRelated: Severe sepsis can trigger prolonged intensive care and lasting multisystem impairment.

• ShockRelated: Sepsis can cause distributive shock, often termed septic shock.

• Cytokine stormRelated: Severe infection can trigger systemic inflammation resembling a cytokine storm.

• Tumor lysis syndromeCompared with: Sepsis can also cause acute organ dysfunction, but arises from infection rather than tumor-cell contents.

• MicrocirculationRelated: Sepsis can produce heterogeneous microvascular flow and impaired oxygen delivery.

• Stevens–Johnson syndromeRelated: Loss of the skin barrier can permit infection and contribute to severe systemic illness.

• Bacterial infectionBroader topic: A bacterial infection can trigger sepsis, requiring urgent recognition and treatment.

• Cytokine release syndromeCompared with: Sepsis can produce fever, shock, and inflammation that overlap clinically with CRS.

• Intensive care medicineBroader topic: It is a common critical illness in which rapid recognition and organ support matter.

• Penetrating traumaRelated: Contaminated penetrating wounds can introduce pathogens into tissues or body cavities.

• Septic arthritisNarrower topic: Joint infection can enter the bloodstream and trigger a systemic emergency.

• Bacterial meningitisRelated: Meningitis-causing bacteria in the bloodstream can trigger sepsis alongside infection of the meninges.

• EndotoxinRelated: Endotoxin can contribute to the host response that produces sepsis.

• Peritonsillar abscessNarrower topic: Rarely, infection may spread beyond the local tissues and cause systemic illness.

• AppendicitisNarrower topic: An untreated or perforated infection can spread and trigger systemic organ dysfunction.

• Bactericidal antibioticRelated: Severe infection often prompts rapid antibiotic treatment, with drug choice guided by likely pathogens and source.

• James A. GarfieldRelated: Infection spread through Garfield's wounds during his prolonged decline.

• Antibiotic eraRelated: Rapid antibiotic treatment is a cornerstone of care when bacterial sepsis is suspected.

• Incision and drainageRelated: A localized collection can contribute to systemic illness requiring urgent broader treatment.

• Sinus tachycardiaRelated: Infection and circulatory stress can produce persistent sinus tachycardia.

• AbscessNarrower topic: An abscess can become a source of systemic infection if microbes or inflammatory signals spread.

• Delirium tremensCompared with: Fever and autonomic instability can overlap, so infection must be considered during evaluation.

• Intensive care unitRelated: It is a common critical illness requiring prompt treatment and close monitoring.
