A member asked:
How long will someone with chronic illness live with sepsis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on how severe the septic reaction is. If it is mild, then it is a good chance that the patient can have a good outcome. But if it is severe, then it is possible that a bad outcome can occur. It is very hard to say.
