Toward a modern concept of sepsis: new answers to ancient questions. Abstract Text:

Gregory J Brunn,Marilou F Wijdicks,Jeffrey L Platt,

It is commonly thought that bacterial endotoxin such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) causes sepsis. Authors argue that LPS is merely a disease marker. The real mechanism of sepsis lies in the Toll-like receptors that suppress sepsis caused by tissue injury or endotoxin. When Toll-like receptors' initial suppression role is overwhelmed, sepsis ensues.
