This article reports a critical case of systematic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) due to wound infection. By intensive local wound treatment including debridement, topical negative pressure, and topical antibiotics, SIRS was effectively controlled, vital signs stabilized, and the wound healed in 45 days. This case reflects the close association between wound infection and SIRS while highlighting early diagnosis of local pathology and local treatment.
