Septic shock is a life-threatening condition that occurs when blood pressure drops to a very low level after an infection and any type of bacteria can cause the infection.
Sepsis and septic shock can result from an infection that may be anywhere in the body like pneumonia, influenza, urinary tract infections or even from a cut on the finger that becomes infected.
