Pin-Prick Blood Test Spots Deadly Sepsis: Study | Newsmax.com:
Scientists on Monday unveiled a quick, cheap way to detect sepsis, a life-threatening condition in which the body is attacked by its own immune system.
In clinical trials at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, the researchers -- analysing a single drop of blood with a thumb-size filtering device -- singled out sepsis patients in a matter of hours with 95 percent accuracy.
My husband wasn't so lucky. The Hellhole Hospital in Nashua, NH said he had an infection but they didn't know what it was or where it was, so they denied him life saving antibiotics. Lab results show he had a UTI, left untreated which turned into Sepsis. Again, he was denied Antibiotics. They didn't even have the decency to tell us he had and died of SEPSIS. Pretty sad, we had to hear it from the Undertaker!
