Sepsis, a systemic inflammation triggered by an infectious agent, produces an inflammatory state in the central nervous system (CNS) that leads to autonomic, endocrine and cognitive-behavioral dysfunctions observed in clinical and experimental studies. Previous findings from this laboratory suggest that oxidative stress, microglial activation, synaptic dysfunction and eventually apoptosis…
Sepsis and its consequences, septic shock and organ dysfunction, pose a serious public health problem. Besides the high costs, cause great mortality and the survivors after hospital discharge may have cognitive impairments resulting in future admissions burdening even more the national health system. During sepsis are released cytokines, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, nitric oxide, etc., w…

The installation of an inflammatory process in the CNS, even in the absence of in situ infection, is commonly referred to as sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE). This condition is responsible for brain dysfunction that will result in functional and cognitive impairment in sepsis surviving patients. Although the cognitive disabilities found in sepsis survivors should not be equated with…
Peripheral inflammatory mediators that reach the Central Nervous System (CNS) trigger the activation of microglial cells resulting in neuroinflammation. This inflammatory response may cause changes in the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which with other alterations may lead to brain dysfunction causing the appearance of long-term neurological sequelae. Studies have shown th…

Worldwide, more than 30 million people are affected by sepsis, which is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Several studies suggest that sepsis might act as a significant inflammatory "hit" that potentially increases the susceptibility of the brain to neurodegenerative disease and the development of dementia later in life. Survivors of…
Sepsis, a systemic inflammatory condition triggered by an infectious agent, induces an inflammatory status in central nervous system (CSN) which leads to autonomic, cognitive and behavioral alterations. The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) plays a major role in endocrine control during sepsis and is associated to the regulation of neurohypophyseal hormones and HPA axis. O…
Sepsis is a potentially fatal condition that occurs when the body produces an inflammatory response to an infectious agent (bacteria, fungi, parasites or viruses) that can lead to multiple organ failure, shock and death. In the pathophysiological process of sepsis excessive production and release of inflammatory mediators may directly or indirectly activate the central nervous system. In …
