Abstract
Septic shock is the most common cause of death in Critical Care Units in the United States. Although initial studies emphasized that the septic shock syndrome was produced by gram negative organisms, this serious disease has also been associated with gram positive, fungal, viral, and protozoal sepsis [1].
