A member asked:
If pneumonia is completely recovered without needing to go hospital nor breathing treatment, does that mean the infection level was not near sepsis?

Likely viral. : May be it was just a viral infection not bacterial.

If you were: well enough to be treated as an outpatient, you were not septic. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition, you would have been hospitalized.
