Sepsis in the bowel is typically caused by a severe infection that leads to the release of harmful bacteria or toxins into the bloodstream. Common triggers include conditions like diverticulitis, bowel perforation, or inflammatory bowel disease, where bacteria from the gut can enter the bloodstream. Additionally, surgical complications or trauma can also introduce pathogens. The body's overwhelming immune response to these infections can result in sepsis, a life-threatening condition.
