Which statement about endothelial damage in severe infections such as CSF, ASF, and Salmonella is correct?

Explanation:
In these severe infections, the inflammatory response drives damage to the vascular endothelium. Cytokines such as TNF-alpha and IL-1 activate and injure endothelial cells, making vessels leaky and promoting a procoagulant state. This endothelial injury helps trigger disseminated intravascular coagulation, which consumes platelets and clotting factors and leads to widespread hemorrhages. So, hemorrhages arise from cytokine-mediated endothelial damage rather than from bone marrow suppression, liver dysfunction alone, or direct bacterial destruction of red blood cells.
