What is sepsis?<\/span><\/h1>\n

Sepsis, sometimes called Septicemia or blood poisoning, is a life-threatening reaction to an infection that can lead to tissue damage, multiple organ failure and sometimes death, especially if it\u2019s not spotted early and treated promptly. This happens when the body\u2019s immune system overreacts to the infection.<\/p>\n

Sepsis is a medical emergency, and you should call 999 or 112 as soon as possible if you suspect you or someone else has Sepsis.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”126″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” el_class=”img-1″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]\n
