Septic shock (low blood pressure from serious blood infection)

Occurs when an infection, usually bacterial, causes severe systemic (whole body) illness. Bacteria types that can cause sepsis typically produce chemical toxins. Sepsis causes the blood vessels to dilate (go into shock). Sepsis can worsen so that it results in multi-organ failure (failed function of kidney, delirium/confusion from failing brain function, etcetera).. Unfortunately even with treatment the disorder is frequently fatal. Almost any infection can result in sepsis although the most common are pneumonia (lung infection), urinary tract infection (bladder infection), and cellulitis (skin infection). Patients with weakened immune systems are at the greatest risk of this disorder. These patients include: diabetics, patients on chemotherapy, HIV patients, patients taken powerful medications for auto immune diseases, infants, elderly patients, and patients with chronic diseases.
