Sepsis kills five people every five hours in the UK, often starting with mild symptoms mistaken for fatigue.
Sepsis, a life-threatening response to infection, affects about 245,000 people in the UK annually, causing five deaths every five hours, the UK Sepsis Trust says.
It can arise from common infections like UTIs or minor cuts and often starts with vague symptoms—muscle pain, confusion, shivering, or reduced urination—that may be mistaken for fatigue or minor issues.
One Belfast woman initially ignored her symptoms, only to develop septic shock within days and be given less than 24 hours to live without emergency surgery.
The Trust stresses that sepsis can affect anyone and urges immediate medical attention if symptoms worsen, as early treatment is vital.
