Does COVID-19 Cause Sepsis? (RE: Bill Clinton's sepsis)
Medscape ^ | 16 October 2020 | Christina S. Boncyk, MD; Matthew F. Mart, MD; E. Wesley Ely, MD, MPH

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection that can be bacterial, fungal, protozoal, or viral in origin, including the virus that causes COVID-19 infection — severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). When a person experiences a dysregulated immunologic (ie, inflammation) or coagulopathic (ie, micro- or macroclotting and bleeding) host response initiated by SARS-CoV-2 infection, it is a form of viral sepsis

Death by exploding worm infested testicles???... Yikes. As a guy, I cringe at the thought.

He is married to Hillary so it is possible.

still wondering if this wasn’t an autocorrect error and someone meant to type syphilis...

I have a friend who is in the hospital with the same thing, for the same reason.

Sounds like NSU. Tetracycline or Erythromycin was the cure in the early ‘80’s.

When I was in a caretaker role, confusion and an irritated/angry mood were pretty reliable indications of UTI. We would then call the doctor for him to check things out. An infection can get bad very fast!

How do you know it was 10000 boys? Never heard that number or any other one.

Sepsis can also be caused by alcoholic organ failure

Billy Jeff and Hillary are drunks

Nope. It is caused by his "vaccine"

Apparently he did not rate high enough for the saline shot.

UTI often requires just a simple antibiotic.

Possible, but somewhat unlikely—here is a side-effect chart with a list:

Lord, take care of Bill Clinton, send him home or take him home, your will be done.

I vote for 'take him home', if home is hell (it is). I been waiting a long time to piss on his grave.

Maybe Hillary will die of a broken heart when he's croaked. Yea, right. A boy can dream.

This article is saying yes.

Viral Sepsis Is Often Overlooked
The prevalence of viral sepsis globally is not unique to COVID-19 sepsis and is poorly understood in part because of underdiagnosis. This may be caused by an inability or failure to perform virus-specific diagnostic tests, undercounting due to “culture-negative” sepsis (which accounts for up to 42% of all cases), or attributing sepsis to common secondary bacterial infections. Underdiagnosis is problematic because appropriate recognition is important to understanding the interactions among the patient, the virus, and the immune response.

Furthermore, a diagnosis of viral sepsis carries important treatment and prognostic information gained from dedicated, extensive research. We have seen this in the use of tenofovir and interferon for hepatitis B infection and yearly updated vaccines and oseltamivir treatment for the influenza virus. With COVID-19 infection, therapies include corticosteroids, remdesivir, and anticoagulation, which have all been shown to decrease morbidity and improve patient outcomes in select populations. As we learn more, these therapies may expand to include convalescent plasma therapy, targeted antiviral drugs, vaccines, or other interventions aimed at reducing or preventing the manifestations of dysregulated responses to infection.

So why are we so hesitant to diagnose viral sepsis? For one, there are systems implications from hospitals reporting to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services wherein the Sepsis Management Bundle adherence is recorded. Under these bundles, hospitals could be penalized for failing to give the required 30-mL/kg volume expansion with an intravenous crystalloid or start broad-spectrum antibiotics in patients diagnosed as septic. Such actions, as a part of protocolized care, are potentially harmful for patients with viral sepsis, wherein large-volume resuscitation may worsen hypoxia and antibiotics may cause more harm than benefit.

It is more likely, however, that a diagnosis of viral sepsis is not made because of the misconception that sepsis is synonymous with a bacterial infection that has been identified (culture-positive sepsis) or not (culture-negative sepsis). This tunnel vision has potentially inhibited our awareness of the multitude of other causative sources of viral sepsis such as systemic herpes simplex virus, norovirus, viral meningitis, or HIV. Despite this common misperception, COVID-19 in its most severe manifestations can clearly be understood as a cause of sepsis that includes the subsequent organ dysfunctions commonly seen with this syndrome.

In Summary
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented monumental challenges to clinicians, scientists, epidemiologists, and public health officials. As we continue to treat this disease in the midst of rapidly accumulating knowledge, we must remember the importance of clarifying our language regarding the disease within our scientific and public health communities to fully capture its clinical impact. Appropriate diagnosis is crucial to how clinicians communicate with one another, patients and families, and policymakers.

We must navigate through many new phenomena in this global pandemic, but our diagnostic criteria have not changed for sepsis or other syndromes of critical illness. It is vital to patient care, both local and global, that we communicate effectively on behalf of our patients to define COVID-19 severity using established definitions, including clarifying COVID-19 as a potential cause of sepsis.

Taking him home implies he would be making it to heaven which I seriously doubt would be the case, his profession of faith notwithstanding.

His life choices do not lend credence to a genuineness of conversion.

Read Acts 12.

It does not get that specific as to what killed Herod.

The passage indicates it was a judgment of God that was immediate.
