Abstract:
Sepsis is one of leading cause of death in children.Consistent high morat lity is associated with unclear understanding of pathophysiology of sepsis.Low sensitivity and specificity have been encoun-tered in definition of sepsis.Therefore,new defin ition will be developed which defines sepsis as infection plus organ dysfunction.
