Septic Shock and Alzheimers's

By Jeff Friday, October 10, 2008

I developed septic shock on christmas 2006.  Had a temperature peak at 108 degrees.  I've had a brain scan and they are telling me I have "liver spots" meaning all over my brain I have dead brain cells.  MY memory is terrible and my intellect is just about gone. 

 

My question,

 

Is is possible for Septic Shock to cause Alzheimer's?

 

Thank you for your response,

 

Sincerely,

 

Jeff
