A member asked:
What do you advise if i was just wondering how long it would take for sepsis to develop into septic shock?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends...: The length of time between sepsis and septic shock is variable and it depends on what organism is causing the sepsis since some organisms are more virulent than others. It also depends on the treatment of the sepsis. If proper anti microbial therapy is given, the sepsis will not continue on to septic shock.
