Abstract:

Based on their extensive experience and literature data, the author outlines difficulties in the morphological diagnosis of sepsis, by taking into account the current clinical classification. Occurring not only in sepsis and lacking clear morphological criteria, a systemic inflammatory response and organ dysfunction cannot be absolute signs of sepsis diagnosis. The author gives the morphological characteristics of the systemic inflammatory response, septic shock, and organ dysfunction.

Keywords:

sepsis
