A woman has revealed how she almost died after she developed sepsis from a cold. Denise Devoto, 52, was hospitalised in December 2022 with suspected flu symptoms, but was actually suffering from septic pneumonia and septic shock. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body has an extreme response to an infection, often causing organ failure and sometimes death. Denise was breathless, her lips had turned blue, and she experienced extreme diarrhoea. She spent five weeks in hospital, where she had to relearn how to use her lungs. Now, almost two years on from her traumatic ordeal, Denise is speaking out in light of Sepsis Awareness Month.
