AbstractManagement of severe surgical infections remains difficult and requires a multifaceted approach. In this review, we briefly summarise our approach to surgical infection, concentrating on the underlying pathological processes of intraabdominal infection. Two promising new therapies--activated protein C (ACP) and stress-dose hydrocortisone--are reviewed as adjunctive management in treatment of patients with septic shock.
