Endotoxic Shock: Causes & Reasons

Possible Causes for Endotoxic Shock

 Gram negative  endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides)  TNF Endotoxic shock  Tissue perfusion  These organisms are present in the lower GI tract and do respond to Penicillins [slideshare.net]

Complications:  Systemic complications:  Bacterimic or endotoxic shock  SIRS  MODS  Abdominal Complications:  Paralytic ileus  Residual/recurrent abscess/ Inflammatory [slideshare.net]
