Sepsis is a life-threatening illness caused by your bodyâs response to an infection. Your immune system protects you from many illnesses and infections, but itâs also possible for it to go into overdrive in response to an infection. This can affect multiple vital organs at once. So cellulitis has no direct infection to the lungs but the sepsis does. Kindly explain this new finding that you've detected so that you can be examined and undergo investigations to rule out any pathologies, infections, obstructions, etc.
