Sepsis is a generalized inflammatory response, linked to a serious infection, in patients who are often already weakened. It would be responsible for 11 million deaths each year in the world according to the Pasteur Institute. The severe forms of Covid-19 are forms of viral sepsis. The term “sepsis” refers to the presence of bacteria (fungi or viruses) in the blood. (Rebroadcast from December 13, 2022)
Sepsis affects 49 million people worldwide each year. If the burden is concentrated in the poorest countries, these infections – gangrene, or puerperal fever (postpartum) – are also a major cause of death in rich countries.
