Treatment For Endotoxic Shock Posted: 01-21-06 16:11pm
I am a pre-nursing student taking
microbiology and we were discussing
endotoxic shock and how dangerous it is.
One of my first questions to my teacher
was if the endotoxin is released from the
gram- bacteria in to the blood stream can
you just do a blood transfusion to rid the
body of the systemic infection? She did
not know and I have been on the internet
for about 3 hours trying to research this
and have not found a whole lot of
information, mainly just a drug that can
have some very serious side effects. If
I can get some plain english info on this
(remember i'm a new student) or some links
that could point me in the right direction
for further research. Thank you
