What is Sepsis?Reporting from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Sepsis is the body's extreme response to an infection. This is a medical emergency that could threaten Java. Sepsis occurs when a person experiences an infection that triggers a chain reaction throughout the sufferer's body. This disease most often starts in the lungs, urinary tract, skin and also the digestive tract.
Most cases of Sepsis occur before the patient goes to the hospital. Without timely treatment, Sepsis can quickly cause tissue damage, organ failure and even death. About 1.7 million adults in America suffer from this disease. Anyone can be infected, and almost any infection , including Covid-19, can cause Sepsis.

Because it doesn't discriminate, anyone can be affected. However, there are some groups who are more vulnerable. Such as adults aged 65 years and over, people with a fragile immune system, as well as those suffering from chronic conditions such as diabetes, lung disease, cancer and kidney disorders.
People who have recently recovered from a serious illness or been hospitalized, including severe cases of Covid-19, are also at high risk. Well, this is the reason why Chicco Jerikho suddenly experienced Sepsis. Even people who have experienced Sepsis before and babies under one year of age can also get the disease.
When Sepsis attacks, symptoms can include a fast or weak heartbeat, fever, difficulty breathing, and unbearable pain. In facing the threat of Sepsis, knowledge of the symptoms and risk factors is the best weapon for sufferers. If you have Sepsis, you must immediately be taken to medical personnel.
Things that need to be done to avoid Sepsis.
There are several actions that need to be taken to reduce the risk of Sepsis, including those triggered by Covid-19 such as Chicco Jerikho. The first step is to talk to a health professional about strategies to prevent infections that can lead to sepsis. Apart from that, it is highly recommended to take good care of the patient's chronic conditions and get the recommended vaccines.
Although vaccination can prevent some infections, it does not guarantee that you will not get Sepsis. Apart from that, patients can also maintain cleanliness by diligently washing their hands and keeping the wound clean until it is closed. Many patients experiencing Sepsis have at least one underlying medical condition, such as chronic lung disease or a weakened immune system.
Sepsis itself is not contagious. A person cannot pass it on to another person. But a person can spread an infection that can cause Sepsis. Therefore, it is highly recommended to take care of the health of yourself, your family and your surrounding environment.
