Sepsis is the body's extreme response to an infection characterized by systemic inflammatory response. It is a life-threatening condition that affects more than 1 million U.S. patients each year. The incidence of sepsis is high because almost any infection can lead to sepsis, and anyone can get an infection. Sepsis was present in 6 percent of hospitalizations from 2009 to 2014, according to a study published in JAMA in 2017.
