Recently, dental infection of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) has been reported as a critical risk factor for NASH progression, which acts as multiple parallel hits to induce inflammation and fibrogenic responses in steatosis. We describe here a 54-year-old woman who died from sepsis and...
Sepsis is a whole-body response to an infection in the blood. This severe condition is also known asblood poisoning, or septicemia.Sepsis occurs when an infection spreads from one location, for example, the lungs, the bladder or the skin, into the blood. Usually, when an infection is prese...
This, coupled with the probable under-reporting of oral sepsis discussed in the paper, means that a significant proportion of young children are having to suffer the effects of oral infection from a disease which is entirely preventable, but from which they are entirely dependent on their carers...
Moreover, older individuals face other vulnerabilities, including altered vaginal flora in women due to reduced estrogen levels, urinary issues from prostatic hypertrophy in men, compromised skin integrity, diminished cough reflex, and swallowing difficulties, all contributing to increased infection susceptibi...
more commonly, via ascending infection from the cervix. Organisms that colonize the mother’s genitourinary (GU) tract may be acquired by the neonate as it passes through the colonized birth canal at delivery. The microorganisms most commonly associated with early-onset infection include the following...

A high white blood cell (WBC) count, a condition known asleukocytosis, can be an important signal that the body is responding to infection, inflammation, or other health concerns. White blood cells are essential components of the immune system, acting as the body’s first line of defense aga...
The current definition of sepsis is “infection-induced systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS)”. Moreover, the severe forms are severe sepsis and septic shock. However, since this definition had been proposed, it has been pointed out to be different from the definition of sepsis that ...
Sepsis is a perplexing infection-related syndrome documented for thousands of years. It remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The concepts and understanding of sepsis have evolved in recent decades from a systemic inflammatory response syndrome to infection to, more recently, ...
