Sepsis affects approximately 1.7 million adults in the United States each year and potentially contributes to more than 250 000 deaths. Various studies estimate that sepsis is present in 30% to 50% of hospitalizations that culminate in death.

Sepsis always starts with an infection. In the UK this is usually a bacterial infection but it can also sometimes be a viral infection such as 'Flu'. The commonest types of infection that can lead to sepsis include: Pneumonia (infection in the lungs often also called chest infection)

Every 3 seconds, someone in the world dies of sepsis. In the UK alone, 245,000 people are affected by sepsis with at least 48,000 people losing their lives in sepsis-related illnesses every year. This is more than breast, bowel and prostate cancer combined. Globally, sepsis claims 11 million lives a year.

Up to 48,000 deaths in the UK every year The IHME study again corroborated this figure, suggesting that the UK loses 48,000 people to sepsis each year. Again, during a pandemic we would expect this figure to be higher.
