What is sepsis?
Sepsis is when the body’s response to severe infection causes vital organs to stop working normally. People can become very ill with sepsis and sadly some people die of it. For those that do survive, it can be life changing, with long term physical and emotional effects. We urgently need to know the best treatments for sepsis.
