This burden is significantly higher than the number of lives lost to cancer or coronary disease. Sepsis can affect anyone as a consequence of infection, but globally young children suffer most. sepsis remains one of the most common and least-recognized illnesses in both the developed and developing world. Sepsis arises when the body’s response to an infection injures its own tissues and organs. It may lead to shock, multiple organ failure, disability and death, especially if not recognized early and treated promptly. September has been designated Sepsis Awareness Month and September 13th is Sepsis Awareness Day.
