Delayed reaction?: Well it all depends on the medications you were given, sometimes sepsis is treated with more than one antibiotic and if your blood pressure dropped they may have used other medications too to stabilize you. The rash can also be secondary to low platelets from the sepsis. The key is to find the culprit. Make a list of all meds taken and see an allergist to help you with the answer.
