[Sepsis--actual clinical problem].

An incidence of sepsis, septic shock, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is still actual clinical problem. Inducing factors and clinical pictures are similar to recently reported data from comparable populations in North America, Europe and Australia. The most important complication of severe sepsis is organ dysfunction observed in over 30% of sepsis patients hospitalized in intensive care unit. Applied intensive therapy including new generations of antibiotics gives an increase in clinical recovery. However, a hospital mortality of sepsis patients is over 30%.
