Are there any known drugs or poisons that can cause sepsis or SIRS or produce similar symptoms?

SIDE EFFECTS: The most common side effects are headache, rash, nausea and stomach upset. Adalimumab may cause swelling, redness, pain and itching at the site of injection . Adalimumab suppresses the immune system and is therefore associated with minor infections of the urinary tract, respiratory tract and sinuses. Like other drugs that block TNF, use of adalimumab also has been associated with serious infections such as tuberculosis, sepsis (bacteria in the blood) and fungal infections. Individuals with active infections should not be treated with adalimumab. Adalimumab also may worsen the symptoms of diseases of the nervous system. In studies some patients who used adalimumab or other TNF blocking drugs developed cancer. Since patients with rheumatoid arthritis have a higher rate of cancers than the general population, the connection between cancer and use of adalimumab is unclear. Other side effects of adalimumab include hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylaxis) and reduced levels in the blood of platelets and red cells (aplastic anemia).
