Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Sepsis Age>50 years Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 20 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 40
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Pregnancy or wish to become pregnant within 2 weeks after PET-CT scan. • Contra-indication to undergo a CT or MRI scan, including claustrophobia. • Unstable hemodynamics or respiration that contra-indicate transport and undergoing PET/MRI imaging. • Other causes not related to sepsis that sufficiently explain (relation in time) the onset of delirium such as newly onset severe kidney or liver failure, or severe electrolyte disturbances, severe hypoglycaemia. • Delirium coinciding with start of medications known to increase the risk of development of delirium. This will be judged by the delirium expert: e.g. neurologist, geriatrician, or senior delirium researcher (e.g. based on the type of drug known to trigger delirium and the temporal relationship between start of the medication and onset of delirium). • Presence of delirium before onset of infection. • Age 6 weeks) use of immunosuppressive agents. • Concomitant diseases resulting in severe immunosuppression (e.g. HIV). • Chronic use of neuroleptics, defined as pre-hospital use. • Patients that do not speak Dutch or have disabilities that prevent accurate delirium diagnosis. • Analphabetic patients.
