Septicemia
Sepsis, also called Septicemia, is a potentially life-threatening condition where the body fights itself (organ systems) instead of the infection. This disease is not selective but is most common in older adults, pregnant women, children younger than 1-year old, and people with chronic conditions and a weakened immune system.
