Summary
Sepsis is the immune system’s overreaction to an infection. Normally, our immune system helps fight infections – but sometimes it attacks our body’s own organs and tissues. We do not yet know why the body reacts this way, which is what makes sepsis so dangerous; if Sepsis isn’t treated immediately, it can result in organ failure and death. Yet with early diagnosis, it can be treated with antibiotics.
