Resumen
DURAN GIMENEZ-RICO, H. J. et al. Sepsis and septic shock: a turmoil of inflammatory mediators with a difficult therapeutic management. An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2002, vol.19, n.1, pp.35-43. ISSN 0212-7199.
Sepsis and septic shock continue being a topic of enormous interest for their high frequency, and for not existing a decrease in the figures of mortality in spite of the new acquired knowledges relationed with their physiopathology and the advances arisen in the diverse applied treatments. The purpose of the present study is to update the present notions in the specialized literature, trying to summarize the complex existent interaction among different mediators of double character: exogenous and endogenous, and to enunciate the possible causes for those that the novel treatments applied in the sepsis continue not to be very promising.
