Anaphylactic shock is the result of a generalized allergic reaction. Septic shock is a result of infections which has progressed to a severe state as in septicemia. Neurogenic shock is a result of severe nerve damage that affects the heart and blood vessels.
A bacterial infection in the bloodstream, a severe allergic reaction, or damage to the nervous system (brain and nerves) may cause vasodilatory shock. When a person is in shock (from any cause), not enough blood and oxygen are reaching the body's organs. If shock lasts more than a few minutes, the lack of oxygen starts to damage the bodyâs organs. If shock isn't treated quickly, it can cause permanent organ damage or death.
