SepsisSepsisSystemic inflammatory response syndrome with a proven or suspected infectious etiology. When sepsis is associated with organ dysfunction distant from the site of infection, it is called severe sepsis. When sepsis is accompanied by hypotension despite adequate fluid infusion, it is called septic shock.Sepsis and Septic Shock (si se desconoce la fuente infecciosa)
EndocarditisEndocarditisEndocarditis is an inflammatory disease involving the inner lining (endometrium) of the heart, most commonly affecting the cardiac valves. Both infectious and noninfectious etiologies lead to vegetations on the valve leaflets. Patients may present with nonspecific symptoms such as fever and fatigue. Endocarditis
Émbolos sépticos
Infección que persiste> 72 horas a pesar de la terapia con antibióticos
Infección causada por:
S. aureusS. aureusPotentially pathogenic bacteria found in nasal membranes, skin, hair follicles, and perineum of warm-blooded animals. They may cause a wide range of infections and intoxications.Staphylococcus
StreptococcusStreptococcusStreptococcus is one of the two medically important genera of gram-positive cocci, the other being Staphylococcus. Streptococci are identified as different species on blood agar on the basis of their hemolytic pattern and sensitivity to optochin and bacitracin. There are many pathogenic species of streptococci, including S. pyogenes, S. agalactiae, S. pneumoniae, and the viridans streptococci.Streptococcus

Indicaciones:
Pacientes de alto riesgo
NeutropeniaNeutropeniaNeutrophils are an important component of the immune system and play a significant role in the eradication of infections. Low numbers of circulating neutrophils, referred to as neutropenia, predispose the body to recurrent infections or sepsis, though patients can also be asymptomatic. Neutropenia profunda

AzolesAzolesAzoles are a widely used class of antifungal medications inhibiting the production of ergosterol, a critical component in the fungal cell membrane. The 2 primary subclasses of azoles are the imidazoles, older agents typically only used for topical applications, and the triazoles, newer agents with a wide spectrum of uses. Azoles
Trimetoprima-sulfametoxazol (neumonía por Pneumocystis jirovecii)
Diagnóstico Diferencial
Reacción a la transfusión: complicación de las terapias transfusionales (hemoderivados/sangre total). La reacción a la transfusión se manifiesta con fiebre, escalofríos, urticariaUrticariaUrticaria is raised, well-circumscribed areas (wheals) of edema (swelling) and erythema (redness) involving the dermis and epidermis with associated pruritus (itch). Urticaria is not a single disease but rather is a reaction pattern representing cutaneous mast cell degranulation.Urticaria (Hives), prurito, disnea, hipotensión y dificultad respiratoria. El diagnóstico se basa enENErythema nodosum is an immune-mediated panniculitis (inflammation of the subcutaneous fat) caused by a type IV (delayed-type) hypersensitivity reaction. It commonly manifests in young women as tender, erythematous nodules on the shins.Erythema Nodosum la aparición de síntomas durante o después de la transfusión. El tratamiento incluye la interrupción de la transfusión, la administración de líquidos intravenosos, antihistamínicos y antipiréticos.
Fiebre neoplásica: síndrome paraneoplásico causado por ciertas neoplasias malignas (principalmente hematológicas). El único síntoma de presentación es fiebre, sin signos de infección o reacción a medicamentos. La fiebre neoplásica es un diagnóstico de exclusión. La administración de naproxeno puede suprimir la temperatura. El tratamiento incluye el tratamiento de la neoplasia maligna subyacente y el control de losLOSNeisseria síntomas con AINE, acetaminofén y corticosteroides.
