Résumé :

Sepsis is a life-threatening pathogenic state characterized by whole-body inflammation triggered by an infection. The presence of an infection may be confirmed by the identification of pathogens in the bloodstream (mainly bacteremia or fungemia) and/or in other locations. The mortality attributable to sepsis is still high (30-50 %), in spite of major progress in the general management of intensive care patients.
