According to the CDC, sepsis one of the top 10 causes of death in the US. Often, people can recover from early to mild sepsis, but there is a 50% mortality rate for those that develop late severe sepsis.
Early and aggressive treatment increases the patientâs chances of survival and close monitoring is required. Recovery from mild sepsis is common, but mortality rates are approximately 15% and mortality rate for severe sepsis or septic shock is approximately 50%. For MRSA patients the mortality rate is 20 â 50%. Other terms that have been used besides sepsis are: bacteremia, septicemia and blood poisoning. It is important that sepsis be identified and treated as soon as possible and ideally within the first hour of symptoms occurring. Sepsis that is not detected can affect organ function and lead to septic shock and dangerous drops in blood pressure.
