Would you know if you had sepsis?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Most likely: As you would have a high fever, feel like you had the flu, and most likely be breathing fast and feel awful and weak. Late you may have confusion as well.

Sepsis: This is a well-defined clinical syndrome which is characterized by the body's response to infection and is diagnosed by physicians. You might feel ill, but not know that you meet the clinical criteria to be termed "septic".
