Deadly Disguise: Gulnar Atayeva on six sepsis symptoms you must never miss

Sepsis is a life-threatening reaction to infection that is notoriously difficult to diagnose early. As our journalist Gulnar Atayeva wrote, the UK National Health Service warns that it often mimics common illnesses like the flu or food poisoning. Gulnar Atayeva highlights six key symptoms in adults: slurred speech, extreme muscle pain, passing no urine in a day, severe breathlessness, mottled skin, and a terrifying feeling of impending doom. The journalist also emphasizes that for children under five, convulsions, lethargy, and unusually cold skin are critical red flags requiring immediate medical intervention.
