The definitions of sepsis and septic shock can be contentious because they are not specific illnesses but rather syndromes encompassing a still-uncertain pathobiology.

Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. The term sever sepsis was concluded to be redundant.

Septic shock is defined as a subset of sepsis in which particularly profound circulatory, cellular, and metabolic abnormalities are associated with a greater risk of mortality than with sepsis alone.

Thanks for sharing your proposed improvements. I adjusted your multiple use of the same reference. Can you try to use more lay terms in this so someone without a medical background can understand it? I know that this is hard. You can also add Wikilinks to some of these terms. Good work so far! JenOttawa (talk) 00:43, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
