A member asked:

Can a vaginal yeast infection possibly cause sepsis in a person with lyme disease (immune system)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Not related: Yeast infection does not usually lead to sepsis until you are severely immune-compromised. Whether you have lyme disease or not has no bearing on this issue.
