Sepsis or septicaemia is commonly known as ‘blood poisoning’.

When the immune system releases chemicals into the bloodstream to combat infection, it can trigger an overwhelming inflammatory response. Such a response can lead to organ dysfunction and result in organ failure. Sepsis can be caused by an array of different infections, some of the most common being viral, fungal and bacterial. Instances where sepsis is misdiagnosed or treated with delay by healthcare professionals can give rise to a claim based on medical negligence.

A sepsis claim refers to legal action taken by a patient of their family against healthcare providers or medical facilities when they believe that negligence or medical malpractice led to the development of improper treatment of sepsis, resulting in harm or death.
