What Is a Sepsis Infection?
1. Overview
One way that our immune system helps to keep us safe from disease is with chemical warfare. Chemicals released by the body will help to kill intruders, but there should not be too many of them in the body. Sepsis is a condition where the chemical balances in the blood are out of balance.
Sepsis can affect just about anybody, although it is still thankfully a rare condition. It can be very dangerous, even life-threatening, but it can be treated in most cases. If it is suspected that somebody has sepsis then they should be found treatment as soon as possible.
