AbstractAt least in its early stage, the syndrome of septicaemic-endotoxic shock gives rise to a heterogeneous clinical picture which often lacks definite clinical, haemodynamic and biochemical features. But even if this form of shock is merely suspected, adequate fluid supply and administration of appropriate antibiotics should be started, in addition to general supportive measures. The administration of vasoactive drugs and corticosteroids has provided favourable results. The low early mortality (10 among 50 patients) is probably due to the medical causes which precipitate shock in this group, and the early onset of treatment.
