It’s time to talk about sepsis. Why? Because any infection – like a wound, pneumonia, or a urinary tract infection – can lead to sepsis. Because sepsis is a medical emergency. If you or a loved one suspects sepsis or has an infection that’s not getting better, ask your doctor or nurse, “Could this infection be leading to sepsis?” Know the risks. Spot the signs. Act fast.
