Query: What is Sepsis?
Context: In its simplest form, sepsis is an infection of the blood. When a person has bed sores, sepsis can occur because chemicals are released into the body to help fight an infection. When this happens, as with bed sores and sepsis, there can be an inflammation triggered throughout the entire system which creates a chain effect that often damages organs, causes fever, and in extreme cases, or when the infection is not caught early, can also cause death.
