𝗣𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸, 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟬-𝟮𝟲, highlights the importance of recognizing sepsis in children, a life-threatening response to infection that can develop rapidly and requires urgent attention. Watch for key signs such as rapid breathing, fast heart rate, confusion or disorientation, fever or shivering, muscle pain, not passing urine, and discoloured skin. Early detection is essential because sepsis can quickly worsen and become critical.
If you notice these symptoms in a child or anyone else and feel something is seriously wrong, seek medical help immediately. Sepsis may look like common illnesses but can escalate fast. Trust your instincts—if it doesn’t feel right, act quickly and ask, “Could it be sepsis?” Raising awareness during Pediatric Sepsis Week can save lives.
