AB  - Effective therapies for sepsis are being devised, after many failures. However, instead of a “one therapy for all” approach, management of sepsis will involve a menu of treatments, depending on the presence of inflammatory markers, the severity of disease, and other factors. This article looks at promising new therapies, including recombinant human activated protein C (rhAPC; drotrecogin alfa, Xigris), recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
