I was talking to someone today that got Sepsis from a UTI

Women frequently get UTI’s but never thought it could lead to sepsis as a regular matter of course (not one of those freak in a million chances)

You can get sepsis from any infection. It usually happens close to the lungs. But it can happen with any infection.

Yes, my Mom has one now (UTI) and I just read the Mayo Clinic webpage on UTI’s, where they mention Sepsis as a potential complication.

(A little OT, I guess.)
