Every year more than one million Americans develop sepsis—a life-threatening medical condition that arises when the body initiates a powerful immune response against an infection. It’s even more dangerous for older adults; two-thirds of all cases occur in people over the age of 65. It’s the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S.
