The death of seven-year-old Jakelin Amei Rosmery Caal Maquin in December, shortly after she was taken into custody by Customs and Border Patrol has sparked outrage and redirected attention to the detention of immigrant children attempting entry to the United States. Although investigations are ongoing, early reports suggest that she died from sepsis and dehydration.

Yet this is not an isolated tragedy—and it is a preventable one. More can and must be done to understand the urgency of sepsis, the leading cause of preventable death worldwide, including in children. More than7 million die annually from sepsis—averaging one death every 3.5 seconds.
