Bacterial sepsis, especially gram-negative sepsis, still remains a major clinical problem around the world even today. Despite the remarkable advances, not only in the methods of treatment, but also in the clarification of the mechanisms related to the causes of the disease, gram-negative sepsis still remains a big problem for both clinicians and researchers in the field of basic medical science. In about 40% of all patients with sepsis, the condition is secondary to infectious diseases caused by gram-negative rods, and about half of the patients suffer from bacteremia. Of importance is the fact that gram-negative bacteremia is associated with a significantly higher risk of septic shock than fungemia or gram-positive bacteremia. In relation to the treatment, how rapidly and accurately the serum levels of endotoxin can be measured are directly related to the outcome.
