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.
Pneumonia is more common in early-onset sepsis, whereas meningitis and bacteremia are more common in late-onset sepsis. Premature and ill infants are more susceptible to sepsis and subtle nonspecific initial presentations; considerable vigilance is therefore required in these patients so that sepsis can be effectively identified and treated.
With prompt treatment, the prognosis from erysipelas is excellent. Delay of treatment, however, increases the chance for bacteremia and the potential for death from overwhelming sepsis. This is particularly true of people with.

Symptoms of congenital GBS infection include breathing difficulties; shock; sepsis; pneumonia; and, meningitis.
