Treated in hospital: You may have had sepsis that was treated while you were in the hospital but you do not have it now because if you did you would be very sick with high fevers and whole body weakness and fatigue.

Sepsis: Sepsis means that an infection was suspected to have entered the bloodstream and is a reason for hospitalization. The code used for sepsis may also help justify your need to stay in the hospital in terms of billing. Sepsis usually causes fever, chills and aches.
