Appropriateness of Broad Spectrum Antibiotics for Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock in the Emergency Department.
CONCLUSION: The most common sources of infection of septic patients were lung infection, bacteremia, gastrointestinal tract infection, genito-urinary tract infection, and skin and soft tissue infection.
