Pediatric Sepsis Week shines a light on a condition that affects tens of thousands of children every year—but is often misunderstood. In kids, sepsis symptoms may include:

✅Fast breathing or heart rate
✅Extreme sleepiness or confusion
✅Fever—or abnormally low temperature
✅Pale, mottled, or bluish skin

Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, seek care right away.

Symptoms aren’t always obvious, but treating it early is critical.

After being diagnosed with multiple myeloma, Jerome continued doing what he loves—creating art—while starting immunotherapy. Less than a year later, his cancer markers were unmeasurable.

"The amount of time you have to live and the quality of that time has improved dramatically," said UNC Health hematologist & oncologist Dr. Haley Simpson. "Immunotherapy has been a game changer."

Autism looks different at every stage of life—and across every individual.

Heather Hazlett, PhD, UNC Health psychologist and assistant professor at the UNC School of Medicine, explains why diagnosing autism is rarely a single moment.

“Because autism is complex and varied… the process can sometimes feel more like a diagnostic journey.”

This Autism Acceptance Month in April 2026, BrainWise is looking at several different aspects of autism, starting with a basic overview of the condition.
