چکیده
Background Severe sepsis was the subject of intense debate over the years, and in the last twenty years there has been a constant effort to identify therapies that reduce mortality. Although the inflammatory response is often adapted to the etiologic agent and to the increase of the mediators in association with organ dysfunction, it is not currently possible to rapidly assess the patients’ ability to develop an appropriate response.
