Some infections, such as strep throat or urinary tract infections (UTIs), are common and can often be treated effectively. However, if left untreated or mismanaged, even minor infections can escalate into serious conditions such as sepsis, which rapidly spreads through the bloodstream and endangers life.<\/span><span
