What Is a Staph Infection?
7. Sepsis
If an infection is detected then our immune system will launch an attack against the invaders. Our defense system is quite effective against invaders and we will usually be able to overcome mild infections without the need for medication. Although a strong response is often necessary, the response can sometimes be too strong.
Sometimes, the response to an infection can be so strong that is can put the patient’s very life at risk. A dangerous volume of chemicals can be released into the body potentially resulting in what is known as a septic shock. This is a very dangerous situation and the patient should be found medical assistance immediately.
