Stem cell therapy<\/a><\/strong> has the potential to cure sepsis, according to a team of scientists in Durham, North Carolina.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”3_5″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.17.2″]\n

What is sepsis and how do you get it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sepsis is a condition that occurs when the body\u2019s normal response to infection goes into overdrive and causes organ dysfunction.<\/p>\n

It is usually caused by infection. A relatively common illness such as a skin infection or pneumonia could trigger the condition.<\/p>\n

When this happens, the body\u2019s immune system can become overwhelmed by infection and responds with an excessive inflammatory response. This inflammation spreads and affects otherwise healthy tissue and organs.<\/p>\n

Who is most at risk of contracting sepsis?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sepsis is a major cause of death in premature babies, but it can affect people of all ages.<\/p>\n

What are the signs of sepsis?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The signs of sepsis vary between newborns and adults, but generally include weakness, loss of appetite as well as fever and chills.<\/p>\n

In babies, you can also look out for a heart rate above 90 BPM, and a breathing rate above 20 breathes per minute. It is worth keeping an eye out for these signs when an infection first begins.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.17.2″ background_color=”#bd144f” background_layout=”dark” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px”]\n
