Are there treatments for sepsis?

Yes: Yes, high dose (often iv) antibiotics targeting the specific bug are usually key to the treatment. Other medications can be used to target the inflammation caused by the infection to keep the lungs and blood vessels open. Sometimes medications are also required to keep the blood pressures up and control sugars while the body fights the infection.

Yes: There is not just one treatment for sepsis, there are many coordinated treatments. Antibiotics will treat the infection, but other supportive care is also necessary. Fluid resuscitation, and possible support of your heart, lungs and kidneys will be important. As of now, with xigris taken off the market, there is no specific treatment for the inflammation of sepsis.

Sepsis...: Sepsis is caused by an infection so antibiotics are the main treatment. Cultures are done to determine the cause of the infection and to tell what antibiotics would be the best treatment. Other treatments are geared to the symptoms that are present, like medicines to support the blood pressure if it is low.

Depends on severity: Sepsis is a serious condition where an infection leads to an aggressive response from the body. Treating the infection with antibiotics and providing fluids are the first set of treatments - but depending on how ill the patient becomes, it may also require drugs to keep the blood pressure elevated, blood products, invasive blood pressure and heart monitoring, and so on.
