Nearly 20% of global deaths are attributed to sepsis annually, nearly half of which are in children under the age of five, with low-resource settings being disproportionately affected. Offering a global, multidisciplinary perspective on this life-threatening medical emergency, this book provides a concise yet comprehensive look at a complex topic. This cutting-edge resource addresses a therapeutic approach that considers different ages, predisposing factors, genetic traits, and more, and brings you up to date with recent medical advances in this challenging area.
