Abstract

While sepsis is an old problem, particularly in ICU, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a younger entity, first described in 1967 [1]. However, old or young, the two topics, sepsis and ARDS, are still the subject of numerous studies [2–4]. Among the infectious problems faced today by hospital physicians, gram-negative sepsis is perhaps the most serious one, with a frustrating high mortality rate, particularly when sepsis is complicated by shock. This is true despite intensive care, surgery, potent antibiotics and the new treatment modalities [5].
