Sepsis. : In your scenario, your description doesn't mean that the discovered source of the sepsis was incorrect. It may simply mean that your body is still recovering. Sepsis is a serious matter, and people are still in recovery from it long after the source of the infection is cleared. Be patient. Drink fluids. Rest when you feel you need to. Visit your doctor often until you're at 100%.

I am guessing that if an elderly person (not me) has COPD & a pleural effusion (even if the person doesn't have a lung infection) then this would make it harder to survive sepsis. But if so, would either be likely to make a significant difference?
