  • Corporate Authors:
    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.)
  • Description:
    For patients and families: Get ahead of spesis. Know the rists. Spot the signs. Act fast.

    Sepsis happens when an infection you already have—in your skin, lungs, urinary tract or somewhere else—triggers a chain reaction throughout your body.

    It is life-threatening, and without timely treatment, sepsis can rapidly lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death.

    To learn more about sepsis and how to prevent infections, visit, www.cdc.gov/sepsis.
