The word sepsis comes from the Greek meaning âdecayâ or âto putrefy.â In medical terms, sepsis is defined as either âthe presence of pathogenic organisms or their toxins in the blood and tissuesâ or âthe poisoned condition resulting from the presence of pathogens or their toxins as in septicemia.â.
Sepsis can be defined as the bodyâs response to an infection. An infection is caused by microorganisms or âgermsâ (usually bacteria) invading the body, and can be limited to a particular body region (eg. open wound) or can be widespread in the bloodstream (often called âsepticemiaâ or âblood poisoningâ).epsis is a medical emergency just like a heart attack or stroke because there is an interruption of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and vital organs such as the brain, intestines, liver, kidneys and lungs.
