Description: "This volume summarizes the present classic and clinical knowledge on the complex syndrome "sepsis". The current findings rest on an interdisciplinary approach in attempting to unravel the molecular pathways causing this disease. A salient feature is that "too much" of otherwise useful signal pathways appear to cause massive dysregulation, the end result being organ failure."--BOOK JACKET.
