Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by the body’s extreme response to an infection, leading to widespread inflammation, tissue damage, and organ failure. It occurs when the immune system overreacts to an infection, releasing chemicals into the bloodstream that trigger systemic complications. Immediate medical intervention is crucial to prevent septic shock and death.
