Other organs as well as the lungs
Direct viral invasion and sepsis
Seattle area in the United States, ICU patients
Septic shock severe enough to require drugs to support the heart and circulation in almost, 70%
Liver injury, over 30% had evidence of liver injury
Depressed immune response, 75%
Acute kidney failure, 20%
Chinese data

Research technique
Multisystemic clinical and autopsy findings
Viral sepsis accurately describes the whole clinical picture
Pathophysiology
Intense cytokine release
Prolonged inflammation
Immunosuppression with T cell exhaustion
Lymphopenia and immunosuppression
Organ dysfunctions
Management
Optimal treatment uncertain
Supportive treatment and immunomodulators
Until effective antivirals are developed

A life-threatening condition
When the body’s response to infection injures its own tissues and organs
