Once unfriendly bacteria enter your body, your body’s immune system tries to fight them off. But oftentimes, your body can’t fight the infection naturally, and you need to take antibiotics – medication that kills the bacteria.

Where does sepsis usually start?

Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection. It is a life-threatening medical emergency. Sepsis happens when an infection you already have triggers a chain reaction throughout your body. Infections that lead to sepsis most often start in the lung, urinary tract, skin, or gastrointestinal tract.

What kills a fungal infection?

Antifungals are medicines that kill or stop the growth of fungi (the plural of fungus) that cause infections. They are also called antimycotic agents.

The rash can involve flushed skin, plaques, and scaly lesions. It most commonly appears on the trunk, arms, and legs.

What are the red flags for sepsis?
