What is Sepsis?
Sepsis is a clinical picture that occurs as a result of the uncontrolled and exaggerated response that the body has developed against infection, causing damage to its tissues and organs, leading to collapse of the immune system, and if not put into treatment, it can be fatal.
It affects more than 30 million individuals each year, causing up to 8 million deaths.
The International Sepsis Association (GSA) has set the month of September as Sepsis Awareness Month.
What can be done against Sepsis?
The most effective and inexpensive way to protect against infectious diseases that cause sepsis is hand washing. It is important to have a habit of hand washing with the right technique from an early age.
Rational use of antibiotics should be ensured. Otherwise, treatment may fail because antibiotics do not have sufficient effect for the treatment of sepsis.
