Sepsis symptoms subtle but serious, could lead to death
Sepsis is a life-threatening medical emergency that occurs when the body’s response to an infection damages its own tissues and organs.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1.7 million adults and more than 18,000 children in the United States develop sepsis each year, and at least 1 in 5 adults who develop sepsis die during hospitalization or are discharged to hospice.
