title: [Clinical characteristics of sepsis today].
abstract: Two sources of septic toxemia--microbial and metabolic--were found in a detailed analysis of 37 patients with pronounced symptoms of sepsis. The proposed three-degrees classification of septic toxemia based upon the degree of clinical signs and humoral reactions, gives sufficient information, partically useful for a more objective estimation of the patients' state, to choose a purposeful therapy of sepsis and real ideas of the prognosis. In addition to the active antimicrobial therapy with using powerful antiseptics (sulfamilon, chlorophilipt, gentamycin, ceporin etc.) the authors insist on hemotransfusions (direct hemotransfusions included) in order to liquidate progressing anemia and to perform nonspecific detoxication by means of forced diuresis or peritoneal dialysis according to the techniques developed by the authors.
