The author's hypothesis of the most important role of bacterial toxins (rather than not infection) in the pathogenetic basis of sepsis is discussed. This allows one to understand why sepsis is of multiple etiologies and not transmissible as an infectious agent, and why it does not induce the immunity. In the author's opinion, the hypothesis makes it possible to develop specific therapy for sepsis, rather than its symptomatic therapy.
