A member asked:
How long does it takes for untreated sepsis to kill a person? (estimated, from either uti or abdominal infection)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rather quickly.: While an exact timeframe cannot be accurately predicted, mortality from untreated sepsis would occur rather quickly. Could progress in a timeframe of hours.
