(documentation Sepsis EnglishLanguage "Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to infection causes injury to its own Tissues and Organs. This initial stage is followed by suppression of the immune system. Common signs and symptoms include Fever, increased heartRate, increased breathing rate, and confusion. There may also be symptoms related to a specific infection, such as a Cough with Pneumonia, or painful Urination with a Kidney infection. The very young, old, and people with a weakened immune system may have no symptoms of a specific infection, and the body temperature may be low or normal instead of having a fever. Severe sepsis causes poor organ function or blood flow. The presence of low blood pressure (systoligBloodPressure and/ or diastolicBloodPressure), high blood lactate, or low Urine output may suggest poor blood flow. Septic shock is low blood pressure due to sepsis that does not improve after fluid replacement. Sepsis is caused by many Organisms including a Bacterium, Virus or Fungus.[from Wikipedia]")	Medicine.kif 5526-5542	Septic shock is a subclass of auto-immune disease
