What are the survival chances of someone with sepsis?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
About 70%: The chances of surviving sepsis (severe sepsis & septic shock) varies; overall, about 70% of patients will survive, and this number can improve with immediate recognition & treatment. The number of organ systems affected is a big factor--the more organ systems that are failing, chances for survival get worse. http://www.survivingsepsis.org/pages/default.aspx.

It depens (penicillamine).: Chances of survival depend on the age and general health of the individual as well as on how quickly, efficiently and appropriately the problem is handled.
