Cranford, NJ – On Thursday, March 25, 2021, WBB Securities, sponsored a Demy-Colton Virtual Salon focused on the critical need for point-of-care, real-time diagnostics to address sepsis. Sepsis, a catastrophic condition that is twice as common and twice as deadly as stroke. Sepsis afflicts 1.7 million adults in the U.S. causing nearly 270,000 deaths. It is the largest cause of maternal deaths in the U.S. and once people recover from sepsis, they are more susceptible to subsequent septic infections. The cost of treatment for sepsis is $60 million per year to Medicare alone. Speed is crucial in the care of sepsis, with one in three hospital deaths caused by this deadly affliction, but current diagnostic technology cannot meet the need for speed and empirical therapy is often the first intervention, usually broad-spectrum antibiotics, which are effective in only 30%-60% of cases.
