title: [Urosepsis. Current therapy and diagnosis].
abstract: Urosepsis is defined as sepsis caused by urinary tract infection. This occurs in 25% of all sepsis cases. Because of the increasing incidence of sepsis, this entity will be seen more frequently in medical practice and outpatient units. The immediate identification and treatment of the septic focus is crucial. Depending on severity, early reconstitution of adequate oxygen delivery has parallel priority, therefore necessitating intensive care unit treatment within the first hours. Therapy should consist of eliminating the infectious focus, antimicrobial treatment, supportive therapy, and special sepsis therapy.
