Results: Age at symptom onset was high (61.6±12.9 years), with three patients having a history of hypertension. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score was high (11.6±4.82). Conscious disturbance appeared as a neurological complication in the early stages. The cause of sepsis was gastrointestinal infection in four patients. All five patients recovered from sepsis; however, four patients showed residual symptoms. We found slightly elevated protein levels in the cerebrospinal fluid. Brain MRI revealed multiple cerebral infarctions due to endothelial disturbance and vasogenic edema associated with disruption of the blood brain barrier.
