New Definition of Sepsis
A new definition of sepsis now available:
Sepsis is a life threatening condition that arises when the body's
response to an infection injures its own tissues and organs.
Sepsis may lead to shock, multiple organ failure and death especially if
not recognized early and treated promptly.
Sepsis remains the primary cause of death from infection despite
advances in modern medicine, including vaccines, antibiotics and acute
care.
Millions of people die of sepsis every year worldwide.
