Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a generalized reaction of the body to a major insult, such as a severe infection, trauma, or extensive burn. It reflects that the body activates its defense mechanisms broadly and not limited to a single area.
How it is recognized: It usually presents with fever or low temperature, accelerated heart and respiratory rates, and changes in white blood cells; it is a condition that can worsen rapidly.
Why it matters: When associated with an infection, it can progress to higher-risk situations, so it requires close monitoring.
Which specialist treats it? Because of its potential severity, it is managed in the hospital setting by the critical care and intensive care specialist. In the presence of high fever with intense discomfort, labored breathing, and rapid deterioration of the general condition, immediate medical care is essential.
