Abstract

The authors of the current article report on recent studies about the thinkable contribution of generalized sepsis and postoperative complications as hypothetical causes of Alzheimer Disease (AD) and psychosis in a vulnerable population. Author’s hypotheses have been supported by a clinical case in their clinic that developed AD and psychosis after generalized sepsis and a major surgical operation.
