A member asked:
If i got sepsis from a paper cut...would i get sepsis all of sudden or would the cut become infested first like red, swollen, painful and then sepsis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Typically there will be some classic sign of infection first, red, hot, swollen. It really depends on the bacteria or organism causing the infection.
