Sepsis merupakan keadaan yang serius tetapi jarang menular karena disebabkan oleh bakteri. Hal ini terjadi apabila bakteri (yang dapat berasal dari paru, usus, traktus urinarius) mengeluarkan toksin yang menyebabkan system imun tubuh melawan organ dan jaringan tubuh sendiri.(1)
Sepsis dapat menimbulkan kondisi yang menakutkan karena jika tidak teratasi dapat menimbulkan komplikasi yang serius yang dapat merusak ginjal, paru, otak dan pendengaran. Tetapi dengan mempelajari dan mengenali tanda-tanda sepsis maka kondisi buruk tersebut dapat teratasi dan anak dapat sembuh sempurna.(1)
Berbagai kelompok umur dapat mengalami sepsis, tetapi prevalensi tertinggi terserang sepsis adalah bayi dan anak-anak dimana system imunnya tidak cukup kuat untuk melawan infeksi yang sangat berat.

Even in boom times, young people who become too old for the foster-care system often struggle to make it on their own, lacking families, job skills or adequate educations. Now, the recession has made the challenges of life after foster care even more formidable, especially for those seeking federal housing vouchers, which are contingent on having an income.

"PETA's request comes in the wake of news reports that a Swiss restaurant owner will begin purchasing breast milk from nursing mothers and substituting breast milk for 75 percent of the cow's milk in the food he serves," the statement says.
