Yes, it is since the infection is in the entire body and it is called sepsis. It does depend on the bacteria or virus that is involved but still can be deadly. There are a lot of different microbes which can cause sepsis. Bacteria is the leading cause of sepsis but fungi and virus can also cause it. Infections in the kidneys and bladder (UTI), lungs (pneumonia), skin (cellulitis), appendicitis, meningitis and others can lead to sepsis. Infections developed after surgery may also cause sepsis. Bacterial infection is a medical emergency. A person having sepsis should be treated in the hospital specifically in the intensive care unit.
