Infections Trigger Deadly Sepsis Cascade

Respiratory infections such as influenza and RSV are increasingly linked to severe health outcomes, including sepsis. These common ailments can progress to a life-threatening state where the immune system becomes dangerously overactive.

This overreaction leads to sepsis, a condition characterized by the immune system attacking the body's own vital organs. What begins as a localized infection can rapidly destabilize the entire system.

The progression to sepsis signifies a critical turn, demanding immediate medical attention to manage the body's internal conflict and prevent further organ compromise.
