How much do you know about sepsis? Sepsis is when your body responds to an infection you already have, in a serious, life-threatening way.
Those with more chronic conditions like diabetes, lung disease, cancer and kidney disease are at higher risk. Adults 65 and older, children under one and people with weakened immune systems are also more vulnerable.
Visit www.cdc.gov/sepsis to learn more about the symptoms and risks, and talk to your primary care provider about how you can help prevent infections.
