New test that detects sepsis in minutes could save thousands of lives – know the signs of killer infection

Sepsis kills around 52,000 people a year - that's more than breast, bowel and prostate cancer combined.

A LIFESAVING two-and-a-half minute test for deadly sepsis has been developed by scientists.

The new check could be rolled out across the NHS within three years – and stop thousands of deaths, researchers claim.
