Fragile young children in critical care can be prone to sepsis, a medical complication that sends infection through the body. A study in Science Translational Medicine reports that Cincinnati Children's researchers developed and successfully tested a new rapid blood assay that accurately predicts which patients are at low, medium or high risk for death from sepsis. The child in this photo and specific illness are not identified.
