AB Sepsis  continues  to  be  the  leading  cause  of  death  among  children  worldwide,  accounting  for  more  than  5.9  million  deaths  per  year  according  to  data  from  the  World  Health  Organization  and  the  United  Nations  Children’s  Fund.  In  the  United  States,  sepsis  poses  a  significant  healthcare  burden  with  approximately  75,000  children  admitted  annually  to  hospitals  with  severe  sepsis  and  an  associated  cost  of  $4.8  billion.  Understanding  the  pathophysiology  of  systemic  inflammatory  response  syndrome  (SIRS)  and  sepsis  syndrome  is  essential  for  recognition  and  management  of  this  deadly  disease.
