Question 1

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Maternal sepsis is a serious condition. She must consult with her ob/gyn and be examined carefully to make sure the infection has been eradicated. Time to heal depends on cause of sepsis and health of the woman.

Question 2

d was recently hospitalized about a week for sepsis. also was anemic. underlying diabetes  2. home now nearly 3 wks/working. recovery time for sepsis?

Accepted Answer

Sepsis: Time for full recovery will vary widely, depending upon the infection causing the sepsis and the organism causing it, the immune status of the patient and the methods of treatment. Glad that you are better. Stay safe.

Question 3

how long does sepsis recovery take?

Accepted Answer

Quite variable: Depending on the severity of the initial illness, whether or not there was related organ failure (the need for a ventilator, the need for medications or devices to keep the heart and blood pressure going, the need for dialysis, etc), the nature of the infecting organism (how well they respond to antibiotics) and the health of the patient.... It could be 1-2 days or months-years.

Question 4

what is the recovery rate for moderate sepsis?

Accepted Answer

: There's no way to even guess without a lot more information about the cause of the sepsis, the bacteria involved, how it is being treated, underlying health conditions and their treatment, and so on. It could be imminently fatal (in advanced cancer, for example) or not very serious, with expected recovery nearly 100%. Discuss with the patient's doctor. Good luck.

Question 5

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 6

can the sepsis infection be treated to the point of recovery to excellent health?

Accepted Answer

Often: Depending on how severe the bodies response was and how much damage was done, many people return to normal lives.  Starting physical therapy as soon as it is safe to do so, minimizing exposure to benzodiazapines (ativan, valium) and paralytics, early nutrition by a feeding tube, etc all seem to maximize recovery and minimize harms.

Question 7

if someone is on life support with pneumonia and sepsis, is there  chance of recovery?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Much depends upon their underlying conditions, the causative agent of their pneumonia, and the extent to which other organ systems may have been involved.  With the quality of U.S. Doctors and the excellence of our icus, the chances for full recovery have been remarkably enhanced.

Question 8

is recovery possible after sepsis/mechanical ventilation?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Depending on how severe the sepsis was/how many organ systems involved, recovery may be complete or partial. Of course, it also depends on other factors such as the patient's age and underlying medical conditions.

Question 9

i had osteomyelitis and then developed sepsis i had no organ dysfunction or anything else i was placed on antibiotics and have been on them for four months the dr didn't need to see me for six is this a mild case and what are my chances for recovery?

Accepted Answer

: If you are feeling well, you have recovered from sepsis. Curing osteomyelitis sometimes is difficult and depends on several factors:  the specific bacteria causing it; predisposing factors like diabetes or surgery in the area with bone hardware; and others. Both an orthopedist and infectious diseases specialist should be involved in your care; they are the ones who can best answer your questions.

Question 10

my father is just about recovering from a severe sepsis infection that included septic shock. still has low grade fever. how long does recovery take?

Accepted Answer

Sepsis: It can certainly depend on the etiology of the sepsis and the degree of organ dysfunction that occurred. Some recover fully, some take weeks, some never quite recover organ function and cardiac, pulmonary, brain and kidney function may be impaired afterwards.  If he is still with fever days/weeks into therapy, i would make sure he has been evaluated for endocarditis with blood cultures and an echo.
