Sepsis is a syndrome involving the systemic host response to an inflammatory or infectious agents.itis a common and frequently fatal condition that occur as a result of severe infection often leading to overwhelming systemicinflammation (1 , 2) , Also The sepsis syndrome is defined by widespread inflammation, host immune dysfunction, dysregulation of the coagulation cascade, and endothelial dysfunction in response to invading pathogens(3). Cecum ligation and puncture CLP , is currently the most widely used animal model of sepsis (4) . Intra-abdominal infections may be a source for sepsis ,these infections generate a peritoneal inflammatory response to poly-microbial organisms derived from the gastrointestinal tract . Peritonitis may originate from a defect in an abdominal viscus , such as an acute intestinal perforation that progresses to sepsis , resulting in high morbidity andmortality in experimental animals . A shift toward an anti-inflammatory immunosuppressive state has been postulated to occur in the later phase of sepsis (5). the aim of this study was to investigate the pathological changes of liver , kidney and lung associated with sepsis .
