Question 1

what's sepsis and is there a cure?

Accepted Answer

Infection: Sepsis is a form of poisoning caused by an infection. The treatment is antibiotics, control of the infection, and supportive measures to keep other organs working while the body heals.

Question 2

please tell me how long it takes for to cure sepsis?

Accepted Answer

Depends...: On a couple of things.  First, what type of infection - some resolve quickly with treatment, others may take longer?  Second, how many organ systems were impacted by the infection - was there breathing failure, kidney failure, confusion, etc?  Also, and probably most important - what was the patient's baseline health and age?  Young, healthy people can do better, but can still die from sepsis.

Question 3

what is the recovery rate or cure rate for sepsis and how long does it take to recovery?

Accepted Answer

: Sepsis is a broad disorder and the outcomes depend on organism causing sepsis, organs involved, underlying health issues, timeliness of treatment, susceptibility of the micro-organism to treatment etc.

Question 4

is there a cure for sepsis?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Antibiotics that kill the bacteria are your only hope. And when they have damaged the body with their products, it's often too late to stave off death or allow full recovery.

Question 5

is infant sepsis easy to cure?

Accepted Answer

Depends on situation: Some infant sepsis will begin by germ invasion of the baby thru  ruptured fetal membranes early in labor. If well established before delivery & diagnosis, treatment may or may not succeed. If early suspicion & testing show the possibility prior to a firmly established infection, early treatment before full blown disease can be curative.

Question 6

how long can you live with sepsis if iv antibiotics can't cure the infection but oral antibiotics are used to slow the spread of infection?

Accepted Answer

Maybe forever: If the doctors have switched to oral treatment, the sepsis itself probably is under control or cured. Continuing oral antibiotics probably is intended to cure whatever underlying infection led to sepsis, or keep it suppressed if not cured. The details depend on that underlying infeciton, different for each one: pneumonia, urinary tract, skin, bone, internal abscess, etc. Discuss with doctors.

68yr parkinson was in icu(22 days)for treating sepsis.after 15days urine report >rbc 2-3/hpf, pus 20-25 epithelial1-2. is ceftum 500 will cure it?

Accepted Answer

Uti: A second generation cephalosporin like ceftum would be a little narrower spectrum that i would use in an ICU patient with a neurodegenerative condition in for sepsis. I assume since there for sepsis he is also on other antibiotics as well which would make the case better for ceftum.
