New Test that Detects Sepsis in Minutes Could Save Thousands of Lives 
Sepsis kills around 52,000 people a year - that's more than breast, bowel and prostate cancer combined. It currently takes up to 72 hours to diagnose the killer condition. Sepsis occurs when an infection - such as blood poisoning - sparks a violent immune response causing the body to attack its own organs. If treated quickly it can be stopped. But it is notoriously difficult to diagnose. Now experts at Strathclyde University have developed a new low-cost test that identifies a key protein in the blood. It is made by the immune system and high levels are a strong indicator of sepsis.
