Abstract

  The purpose of this article is to understand pediatric sepsis, activation of the innate immune system and a synergistic relationship between the loss of organ functions and sepsis pathophsiology. Many complex factors such as genetics, physical agents, mediators and effectors are involved in the development of organ failure both in sepsis in children and neonates. The patient’s immune surveillance could fail to eliminate the pathogens with a release with inappropriate activation. These topics are very important for pediatricians, immunologists, and neonatologists.
