Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening condition that arises when the body's dysregulated response to infection causes injury to its own tissues and organs.
AI overview
Sepsis is a serious medical emergency that occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to an infection and starts damaging its own tissues and organs instead of just fighting off germs. It matters because this condition can quickly become life-threatening if not treated promptly.
