What happens during the disease - sepsis, unspecified
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by an overactive immune response to an infection, leading to widespread inflammation, organ dysfunction, and tissue damage. it is caused by the release of inflammatory mediators in response to the presence of bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. these mediators cause widespread inflammation, which can lead to decreased blood flow to vital organs, tissue damage, and organ failure. the body's immune response can also cause a decrease in oxygen levels, leading to hypoxia and further tissue damage.
