Severe odontogenic infection is well known to induce sepsis and airway obstruction, which will threaten a patient's life. Recently, sepsis was categorized to be one of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), which results from the increased serum concentrations of inflammatory cytokines. Herein, we reported a concern with a SIRS which occurred after the extraction of the lower molar. Initially, the patient was diagnosed with a simple odontogenic infection, but three days later, it was recognized as SIRS because the body temperature was 39.4℃ and 22,400/mm^3 of WBC. According to this case, it was thought that dentists should recognize a concept and diagnosis criteria of SIRS.
