WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Do I Have Sepsis Quiz - Symptoms and Signs

This free, quick self-check helps you review possible infection context, whole-body changes, and warning signs associated with sepsis. It cannot diagnose or rule out sepsis, and its scores are not validated medical cutoffs. Sepsis can worsen quickly. If you have new confusion, severe breathing difficulty, blue or grey skin or lips, collapse, difficulty waking, or rapid serious deterioration, call emergency services now rather than finishing the quiz. Otherwise, concerning or worsening symptoms need prompt assessment by a medical professional.
