Diseases that may cause SIRS:
Infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99).
- Bleeding, unspecified
- Ischemia, unspecified – reduced blood supply to an organ.
Liver, gallbladder and bile ducts – Pancreas (pancreas) (K70-K77; K80-K87).
- Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).
Mouth, esophagus (esophagus), stomach, and intestines (K00-K67; K90-K93).
- Ileus (intestinal obstruction)
Injuries, poisoning, and other consequences of external causes (S00-T98).
- Anaphylaxis – maximum form of allergic reaction.
- Major soft tissue injury
- Major trauma (injury), unspecified
- Burns
Diseases that can lead to sepsis:
Infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99).
- Infections with pathogens of all types, especially bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus or Escherichia coli.
Common forms of sepsis include the following.
- Catheter/foreign body-associated sepsis – sepsis caused by catheters or other foreign bodies inserted into the body.
- Ventilator-associated pneumonia – pneumonia associated with artificial ventilation.
Fulminant courses include.
- Meningococcal sepsis – sepsis caused by Neisseria meningitidis.
- OPSI syndrome (overwhelming post splenectomy infection syndrome) – sepsis after splenectomy (splenectomy).
- Toxic shock syndrome (TSS, Engl. Toxic shock syndrome; synonym: tampon disease); severe circulatory and organ failure due to bacterial toxins (usually enterotoxin of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus/superantigen effect of toxic-shock-syndrome toxin (TSST-1), more rarely streptococci, then called streptococcal-induced toxic shock syndrome); for the diagnosis of “TSS” three or more of the following organ systems must be involved: Gastrointestinal tract/gastrointestinal tract (vomiting, nausea, or diarrhea/diarrhea), musculature (marked myalgias/muscle pain with elevation of serum creatinine or phosphokinase), mucous membranes (vaginal, oropharyngeal, or conjunctival hyperemia)/increased accumulation of blood, kidneys (elevation of serum urea or creatinine, pyuria/excretion of pus in urine without evidence of urinary tract infection), liver (elevation of transaminases, bilirubin, or alkaline phosphatase), CNS (disorientation, impaired consciousness)
