WHAT IS SEPSIS?

Sepsis, which was often called “blood poisoning,” is a life-threatening
emergency that happens when your body’s response to an infection damages vital
organs and, often, causes death. Learn more about the symptoms of sepsis, which
kills 350,000 adults each year in the United States.

KRYSTAL ANDERSON

Tribute

Krystal Anderson: A Life Cut Short from Maternal Sepsis, A Legacy of Strength
and Resilience Krystal Anderson’s life was marked by vibrant dedication to her
passions and profound love for her family. A mother, wife, daughter, sister, and
friend, Krystal was a beacon of joy and inspiration to all who knew her. Her
sudden passing at the age of 40 from maternal sepsis, mere days after the tragic
stillbirth of her daughter Charlotte Willow, left a community in mourning and a
family without its cornerstone. Krystal was a dynamic and impactful person to
everyone she encountered. She thrived in dual ... Read Full Story

ABHIJIT MANWAR

Tribute, Tribute

My heart aches as I write this tribute to my beloved elder brother, Abhijit. He
was a strong pillar in my life, always guiding me with his wisdom and kindness.
His untimely departure on 21st March 2024 has left a void that can never be
filled. Abhijit’s journey began with a desire to lead a healthier lifestyle
through dieting. However, little did we know that this decision would have
devastating consequences. His weight loss was accompanied by a weakening of his
immune system, resulting in excruciating pain in his legs. Despite numerous
treatments and medications, his condition only worsened, leading ... Read Full

CHARLENE W.

Tribute, Tribute, Survivor

Hello to everyone, my story begins Jan 2024 after I had full hysterectomy
surgery. (Sepsis and Surgery) They sent me home with the catheter in my bladder
which gave me a UTI. (Sepsis and Urinary Tract Infections) I was given
antibiotics but obviously it wasn’t caught in time before invading my
bloodstream and organs. A few days later my sister rushed me to the ER and
demanded I was seen immediately. I was lethargic, weak, in pain, eyes yellow,
103 temp, very delusional. Immediately they started running tests, etc., and was
told I had sepsis. I spent 2 weeks in ... Read Full Story

WARREN CAMP

Tribute, Tribute, Survivor, Survivor

I went to the hospital with severe back issues, to get a cortisone injection on
a Thursday night. They ran tests Friday & scheduled injection for Monday.
Saturday, a nurse was replacing an IV. While putting in the IV, she stuck me
with the catheter, then pulled it out, sit it down, then stuck me with the same
catheter again, digging around (I knew it was wrong but the pain from the back I
was in and speed this happened just let it go ). An hour later I noticed the
swelling and shut off IV and called the nurse ... Read Full Story

ANDRES ROSARIO

Tribute, Tribute, Survivor, Survivor, Tribute

English translation by Sepsis Alliance; original Spanish text follows. My father
passed away at 61 due to organ failure caused by septic shock. My father was a
diabetic and it all started with a check of his diabetes, after analysis and
x-rays they found he had an enlarged prostate and would need to operate. The
operation was successful, and he was sent home with a urinary catheter for 20
days. This worried me as I know that diabetics having a catheter for a prolonged
time are at a higher risk of serious infection.  Once the catheter was removed,
my father ... Read Full Story
