- Sepsis is caused by an infection, which can be bacterial, viral, or fungal.
- Common sources of infection include pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and abdominal infections.
- Skin infections from wounds or surgeries can also lead to sepsis.
- The body’s immune response to the infection triggers widespread inflammation.
- This inflammation can cause blood clots and leaky blood vessels, leading to poor blood flow and organ damage.
