Sepsis is a medical condition that is serious.

It can end your life.

Sepsis is when your body reacts really badly to an infection.

When you have an infection, it means germs have gotten into your body.

This can make you very sick.

If you have sepsis you need to go to hospital as soon as you can.

Sepsis can damage parts of your body for the rest of your life if you wait too long.

A doctor can:

• check if you have an infection

• tell you if you have sepsis.

You need to see your doctor if you think you have an infection.

This can help make sure an infection doesn’t lead to sepsis.
