Abstract:

Sepsis,a common deadly systemic infection caused by a variety of pathogens,has some clinical symptoms similar to the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Currently,many parameters have been used for the clinical diagnosis of sepsis,however,none of them has gained unanimous acceptance as a specific parameter for sepsis. Despite of the development in diagnositic and therapeutic techniques,the incidence and mortality still remain high. This article summarizes widely applied or hot research parameter for the clinical diagnosis.
