Bacterial cell wall endotoxins (Lipopolysaccharide) are the cause of septic shock, stimulating macrophages to release IL-1 and TNF-α at excessive, systemic levels. The condition is often fatal and symptoms include a sudden drop in blood pressure, fever, diarrhoea and blood-clotting in multiple organs.
