This volume contains contributions by well-known scientists
and clinicians in the fields of microbiology, infectious
diseases, physiology, internal medicine, surgery,
anaesthesiology, and intensive care medicine.
It provides an up-to-date overview of the mediators and
pathophysology of sepsis and septic shock as well as the
latest therapeutic approaches.
