AbstractRecent developments in the pathophysiology and treatment of sepsis have clearly shown the confusion produced by the imprecise terminology used to define the various facets of the sepsis process. The criteria required to diagnose bacteremia, sepsis, sepsis syndrome or septic shock vary from one author to the other. This inaccuracy accounts for the inability to compare the results of therapeutic investigation from different groups. The aim of this article is to point out the necessity of standardized terminology and to propose definitions which might be appropriate.
