Frequently Asked Questions
Sepsis is a serious condition that occurs when the body responds abnormally to an infection, potentially causing organ damage and requiring urgent medical attention.
Sepsis can develop when the body's response to an infection becomes harmful. Bacterial, viral or fungal infections can potentially lead to sepsis.
Signs may include confusion, rapid breathing, fever or low temperature, fast heart rate, extreme weakness and reduced urine output. Symptoms can vary between individuals.
Risk can be higher in young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems or certain underlying health conditions.
Recognising possible sepsis early can help ensure urgent assessment and treatment, reducing the risk of serious complications and organ damage.
