Sepsis is a life-threatening condition triggered by the body’s extreme response to an infection, leading to widespread inflammation and potential organ failure. It occurs when chemicals released into the bloodstream to combat an infection inadvertently cause inflammation throughout the body, disrupting normal processes. Early symptoms may include fever, rapid heartbeat, and confusion, which can rapidly worsen without timely treatment. Effective management of sepsis requires urgent medical attention to administer antibiotics and maintain organ function, emphasizing the critical need for prompt diagnosis and intervention.
