It is not usual for non-scientific publications to be commented on on our news page. However, in this case we have decided to make an exception due to the nature of the information and the treatment given to the headlines.
Last Saturday, Mr. Juan Manuel de la Maza, who held the position of State Attorney General, passed away in Argentina, a judicial responsibility of great importance in the moments in which we live.
Apparently during his professional visit "he felt unwell" which is why he was placed in the hands of medical professionals in Buenos Aires, who made the decision to admit him with a diagnosis of urinary infection, with a previous history of diabetes.
As has been published, the process evolved unfavorably until it triggered sepsis, and later SEPTIC SHOCK, which caused the fatal outcome.
Every human life is precious and irreplaceable, and its loss is equally painful regardless of the person's media relevance. Logically, the greater the media relevance, the greater the impact on society, since the media act as a sounding board in these cases for the good and for the less good.
It is not appropriate to question his personal or clinical circumstances, or the quality of the health care received, which we assume is the best he could have had access to.
However, we want to reflect on the treatment that has been given to SEPSIS, when it is stated in the headline that "Sepsis, a rare but not impossible infection, cause of Maza's sudden death"...

Madrid, Tuesday June 20, 2017. The SEPSIS is a critical ailment which occurs when the body, in response to an infection, generates an inflammatory response that, in the most severe cases, causes acute failure of other organs that were not necessarily related to the original infection, causing shock or multi-organ failure that, in a significant number of cases, it causes death.
Due to the high morbidity and mortality due to sepsis, through the resolution approved at the World Health Assembly held last month in Geneva, it is indicated to WHO should help countries develop the infrastructure, laboratory capacity, strategies and tools necessary to reduce the burden of sepsis. And to work with partners to help developing countries gain access to safe, effective and affordable treatments and quality tools for infection prevention and control, including immunization. It is because of all this the WHO has decided to intervene urging all member states to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
