Like cerebral vascular or acute cardiovascular incidents, sepsis is considered a time-dependent condition having severe and longterm consequences on human health. Apart from organ support, prompt administration of appropriate antimicrobial therapy is crucial to limit the burden of complications related to sepsis in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. The management of septic patients requires comprehensive and multi-disciplinary strategies for an adequate diagnosis.
