Interview conducted by Aimee MolineuxNov 20 2022 Thought LeadersDr Catharina HartmanMedical TrusteeSepsis Research FEATAs part of World Antimicrobial Resistance Week 2022, News-Medical speaks to Dr Catharina Hartman, a trustee of the charity Sepsis Research FEAT, about the problems associated with combating sepsis brought on by antimicrobial resistance.
Infections are recognized by our immune system, which then triggers a cascade of reactions to counter the infection, called the inflammatory response. Sepsis happens when these normally curative reactions are no longer in balance and affect not just the infection but everything else around it, including the body’s own tissues and organs.
Particularly in the early stages, sepsis can be difficult to diagnose due to the similarity of its symptoms to those of other illnesses. Worldwide, one in five mortalities is associated with sepsis. Given this fact, why is it important to raise awareness and ensure that people are conscious of the early symptoms of this condition? In the UK, around 50,000 people a year are still losing their lives to sepsis. Of the 200,000 or so who survive an episode of sepsis, around 100,000 will suffer from long-term side effects and other serious outcomes affecting their physical and mental well-being.
According to the World Health Organization, many sepsis deaths are preventable. Are you hopeful that tackling antimicrobial resistance can also decrease sepsis infections and mortalities worldwide? Decreasing the incidence of sepsis relates to being able to treat a source infection quickly and effectively, and AMR makes this increasingly difficult.
