Study Notes
Sepsis and Septic Shock
- Septic shock is defined as sepsis with hypotension requiring vasopressor support to maintain MAP >65 mmHg and lactate >2 mmol/L, with a predicted mortality of 40%.
- The pathogenesis of sepsis involves localized infection, overstimulation of the host inflammatory response, and uncontrolled release of inflammatory mediators.
- Hemodynamic alterations in sepsis lead to vasodilation, hypotension, and hypoperfusion due to nitric oxide release from endothelial cells in response to bacterial endotoxin.
- Sepsis results in vascular and multiorgan dysfunction, organ failure from microvascular injury, and decreases in the number of functional capillaries.
- Toxins causing sepsis may arise from gram-negative bacteria (endotoxins) or proteins synthesized and released by bacteria (exotoxins).
- Clinical manifestations of sepsis include systemic responses to infections and specific organ system dysfunction.
- Infectious diarrhea causes over 5 million deaths worldwide annually, with 200 million episodes and 1.8 million hospitalizations in the U.S., costing $6 billion per year.
- The etiology of infectious diarrhea involves viral pathogens and environmental factors such as person-to-person, water-borne, and food-borne transmission.
- Host factors and infectious agents influence gastrointestinal tract infections, with E. coli being a major cause of diarrhea.
- There are five major classes of E. coli that can cause diarrhea, each with the ability to evade host defenses, colonize intestinal mucosa, and multiply with host cell injury.
- Infectious diarrhea can present as secretory diarrhea, inflammatory diarrhea, or hemorrhagic diarrhea, with different symptoms and pathogens involved.
- Hemorrhagic diarrhea caused by EHEC can lead to a broad spectrum of clinical disease, ranging from asymptomatic infection to hemolytic-uremic syndrome characterized by anemia and renal failure.
