Think of it this way BG, the antibiotics kill the bacteria, however as the bacteria die they release lps from their cell wall. This causes a HYPER activation of the complement cascade and all of its associated mediators. In other words a whole body inflammatory response, this is the real problem as this can progress to DIC (dissesimanated intravascular coagulopathy) where you have clotting on a micro level (at the capillary level) and bleeding on a macro level, (around the central lines, the gingiva etc). The micro clotting eventually results in a macro shut-down of various organs or mutil sytem failure (death).
