Sepsis is a life-threatening condition resulting from the body’s runaway response to a serious infection. It can be triggered by a bacterial, fungal or viral infection, including COVID-19, and, if not identified and treated promptly, can led to septic shock, organ failure and death.Article content Two days after the bite, she noticed she hadn’t gone to the bathroom all day and thought it strange. She would later recognize it as a sign that her kidneys were shutting down.
She woke from a coma more than one month later only to be told she needed to have three limbs amputated because the blood-clotting associated with sepsis had stemmed the blood flow to her extremities and destroyed much of their tissue.She went through rehabilitation to learn to walk and live with prosthetic limbs, but it was another five years before she fully recovered from post-sepsis brain fog and speech problems.
“If you recognize those signs and bring them to the attention of a doctor in the emergency room, you can walk out of the ER, rather than be wheeled out,” said Caron, who told her story this past week to mark sepsis awareness month.
