Recent research has found that sepsis is more common and lethal among COVID-19 patients than previously thought.
Sepsis is a highly severe clinical syndrome, often originating from lung infections, urinary tract, skin, or gastrointestinal tract, involving pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, viruses (including COVID-19 and influenza), and more. The immune system becomes hyperactive when combating these infections, leading to systemic inflammation and tissue necrosis. In severe cases, it can result in shock, organ failure, and even death.
