Sepsis is a generalized infection, i.e. germs in the bloodstream. The affected people usually feel sick and slapped, yes. This alone is not enough for the diagnosis of “Sepsis”.

The medicine uses the so-called qSOFA score to give a suspicion. The respiratory frequency, blood pressure and the state of consciousness are checked. If the respiratory frequency is above 22 per minute, the blood pressure is permanently much lower than 90 mmHg and the consciousness is restricted, i.e. the person concerned is confused or slowed down, then there is suspicion of a sepsis, if there are no classical infect signs such as fever or coughs. At least 2 of these characteristics must apply. If you’re just tired and slapped, it’s not enough for a consciousness exercise.

By the way, an infect can be present even if you have no sepsis…

No, you’d have a high fever at a sepsis. But there are other diseases in addition to a sepsis 49,999.
