Taiwanese actress Dee Hsu, also known as Da S, tragically passed away in Japan due to illness, sparking widespread attention. The news of “Da S’s cause of death was sepsis” has been circulating and creating discussions. The topic of sepsis was a hot search on February 7, drawing attention.
Mainland Chinese actress Liu Xiaqing once shared her experience of battling sepsis on a program. She mentioned a small cut on her finger caused by a knife and how she covered it with a small piece of newspaper due to the lack of tissue at the moment. She underestimated the severity of the situation and continued with her activities, only to develop a fever days later. Liu Xiaqing struggled with fever and bone pain, eventually leading to a diagnosis of sepsis.
During the treatment process, doctors warned Liu Xiaqing about the seriousness of her condition and the risks of continuing her work commitments, emphasizing the importance of her health.
Liu Xiaqing recovered from sepsis, but not without realizing the severity of the illness. She shared her experience of hospitalization and the grim reality of witnessing others succumb to the same illness.
Liu Xiaqing is a renowned actress in Mainland China, having won prestigious awards in the film industry.
Da S traveled to Japan for the Lunar New Year holiday but tragically contracted influenza and developed pneumonia, leading to her untimely death at the age of 48. The shocking news continues to be difficult for fans to accept.
According to a source in Tokyo, Da S arrived in Japan in good health but started experiencing severe coughing after 1 to 2 days, which escalated into pneumonia. Despite efforts to save her, the absence of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) during treatment contributed to the unfortunate outcome. The doctor’s report cited sepsis as the cause of death.
Dr. Tu Chengzhe, a thoracic surgeon in Taiwan, clarified that pneumonia can indeed lead to sepsis, pointing out the potential development of septic shock in Da S’s case.
Former Taiwanese legislator Shen Fuxiong expressed doubts about the sepsis diagnosis, raising questions about medical procedures and bacterial cultures conducted during Da S’s illness. He speculated that respiratory failure might have played a significant role in her passing.
Shen Fuxiong further elaborated on different blood infections, noting that bacterial presence without systemic symptoms is termed bacteremia, while bacterial invasion affecting vital signs constitutes sepsis. Conversely, viral bloodstream infections are categorized as viremia.
The investigation into Da S’s cause of death, particularly regarding the sepsis diagnosis, remains a subject of scrutiny and further analysis within the medical community and among the public.
