Abstract(s)
The authors report a rare case of shock
in a patient without significant clinical
history, admitted to the intensive care unit
for suspected septic shock. The patient
was initially treated with fluid therapy
without improvement. A hypothesis of
systemic capillary leak syndrome was
postulated following the confirmation of severe hypoalbuminemia, hypotension,
and hemoconcentration - a combination
of three symptoms typical of the disease.
The authors discussed the differential
diagnosis and also conducted a review of
the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
