Included in the more relevant personal pathologic backgrounds are the diabetes mellitus which increases the death risk in more then eight times (OR 8.88; CI 2.7931.40; p=0.000), followed by malign neoplasia (OR 8.61; CI 1.06-18.04; p=0.017). The shock was the clinical manifestation associated with death (OR 6.00; CI 2.04-18.90; p=0.004), and the leukopenia was the humoral datum (OR 2.94; CI 2.94-46.68; p=0.000). Study was concluded wit...
