Sepsis

📖What is Sepsis?

Sepsis is a life-threatening medical emergency that occurs when the body's response to an infection spirals out of control, triggering widespread inflammation that can damage tissues and organs throughout the body. It can arise from any type of infection, including bacterial, viral, or fungal, and can progress rapidly to septic shock, characterized by dangerously low blood pressure and multi-organ failure. Sepsis requires immediate recognition and treatment, as delays in care are strongly associated with increased mortality. It disproportionately affects the very young, elderly, and those with weakened immune systems or chronic illness.
