Coronavirus and Sepsis

Anusha Swarna

Sepsis is a life-threatening emergency caused by massive immune response to bacterial infection that gets into the blood, which often leads to organ failure or injury, and quick treatment can rely on people at home noticing something is wrong and acting on their instincts to get help.

In a different context sepsis is linked to coronavirus (COVID-19) because sepsis is one of the ways that COVID-19 can cause serious illness and death.
