Conclusion:
Severe sepsis is a critical diagnosis and often seen in the intensive
care unit. Sepsis can be identified by different hallmarks which can
often be skewed by the altered physiology of the cirrhotic patient.
Ultimately, cirrhosis not only masks signs of sepsis but can predispose
patients to worse outcomes due to the immune susceptibility of (CAID).
Our case highlights the profound impact cirrhosis can have on a patient
with sepsis. Moreover, the case suggests that further research is needed
to elucidate appropriate antibiotic and antifungal considerations in
empiric treatment for the septic cirrhotic. Further exploration of such
information may improve mortality rates in this patient population.
