Last September, Mackinlay said he’d begun feeling unwell – but didn’t think anything of his symptoms, especially after testing negative for COVID.

Key Points: 
  • Last September, Mackinlay said he’d begun feeling unwell – but didn’t think anything of his symptoms, especially after testing negative for COVID.
  • But his condition quickly worsened throughout the night.
  • When Mackinlay was finally admitted to hospital the following day, his entire body had turned blue.
  • Sepsis is a severe condition that arises when the body’s response to an infection injures its own tissues and organs.

Severe condition

  • There are numerous reasons why sepsis is such a dangerous condition.
  • Yet these subtle signs can turn severe within hours because of how rapidly sepsis progresses.
  • And, because of sepsis’s complex nature, it lacks a biological signature (or biomarker) that can reliably be used to diagnose the condition.
  • But these signs don’t always clearly indicate the presence of the condition – at least initially.
