R65.1: Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome of infectious origin with organ failure
You have an inflammation all over your body. This has damaged one or more of your organs.
Pathogens have gotten into your blood. There are various kinds of pathogens. These include bacteria or fungi, for example. There are various causes why pathogens can get into the blood. A very common reason is another prior illness that was caused by pathogens. These conditions may for instance be inflammation of the lungs or abdominal organs.
The whole body becoming inflamed means you are very ill. For example, you may have a high fever. Your heart may beat very fast and you may also breathe very quickly.
The inflammation may also have damaged organs. The fact that many different organs could be affected means that you have different symptoms. The kidneys or liver may no longer work properly, for example. The brain may also no longer be able to work properly. You may no longer perceive your the world around you properly or even pass out.
