3. Sepsis

Sepsis used to be characterized as a disease all on its own, but it's increasingly seen as a condition brought about by the immune system's response to microbial infection. One of the most common symptoms of sepsis is tachypnea, which can occur with fever and hypothermia.4Hotchkiss, Richard S et al. ‘Sepsis and septic shock.’ Nature reviews. Disease primers vol. 2 16045: 30 Jun. 2016, doi:10.1038/nrdp.2016.45.

Usually caused by organ damage or internal injuries of some kind, sepsis is a serious condition with a 15-25 percent mortality rate that requires immediate medical attention.
