Sepsis is one of the most common reasons for critically ill patients to be admitted to an intensive care unit and, despite advances in overall medical care, it represents a major clinical problem and remains the leading cause of death in the critically ill patient population. Although sepsis has been defined as a systemic inflammatory syndrome, in which there is an identifiable focus of infection, clinical trials aimed at anti-inflammatory therapeutic approaches have largely failed to identify an effective therapeutic target to improve clinical outcomes in sepsis. Very recently, the third international consensus definitions have been advocated for sepsis and septic shock. Thus, sepsis is now defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction due to a dysregulated host response to infection. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis and its resultant organ failure has been sought, and the development of therapies targeted at preventing or limiting molecular events associated with the progress of fatal organ failure, hence leading to improvement of outcomes, is urgently needed. This review article provides an overview of possible pathogenic mechanisms underlying the development of multiple organ dysfunction in sepsis and discusses pharmacological agents regarded as promising in treatment of this disorder.
