Wisdom tooth infection puts woman in coma, sparks sepsis fear

A 23-year-old Australian woman went into a coma after an infected wisdom tooth led to sepsis. Caitlin Alsop's condition, initially mistaken for flu, worsened rapidly, requiring emergency surgery. She woke up from her coma after nine days. Sepsis is a serious condition where the body’s immune system has an extreme response to an infection, resulting in tissue and organ damage.
