Sepsis: Time for full recovery will vary widely, depending upon the infection causing the sepsis and the organism causing it, the immune status of the patient and the methods of treatment. Glad that you are better. Stay safe.

Mgt/workup: The recovery time can vary, and it is common to feel tired after a prolonged or severe illness. Since you also had anemia an evaluation for immunodeficiency is suggested. Rest and a healthy diet with protein, fruits and vegetables may help your recovery.
