In the emergency department, it is important to identify signs of hypoperfusion and evaluate various hidden sources of infection by taking a complete medical history, a thorough physical examination, and if necessary advanced imaging. It is necessary to conclude that the importance of the timely diagnosis of this clinical entity helps to significantly improve the prognosis.
