Spanish term or phrase: sepsis foco cutáneo y escara sacra

Hola, esto aparece como causa en un certificado de defunción. Más específicamente sepsis foco cutáneo y escara sacra grado 4, no hay más contexto.

¿Cuál sería la traducción más apropiada? Para la segunda se me ocurre sacral eschar, stage 4; o sacral pressure ulcer, stage 4.

Gracias de antemano.

sepsis from grade 4 decubitus ulcer

Explanation:
"Foco cutáneo" quiere decir aquí que el origen de la sepsis es una infección cutánea. La especificación posterior parece señalar la infección que origina la sepsis. De donde, simplificando lo redundante del fraseo, "sepsis from decubitus ulcer".

Ver por ejemplo:
Sepsis from decubitus ulcers poses additional challenges due to the tissue degeneration that has already occurred

En relación al comentario de Lirka, ;

Escara
Herida que queda en la piel y en las partes blandas por necrosis, formando una costra seca. Normalmente es consecuencia de una quemadura, una infección o una enfermedad cutánea escoriativa, resultado del apoyo prolongado sobre una zona determinada en pacientes encamados. En este último caso, se denomina también úlcera por presión o úlcera de decúbito.
https://www.cun.es/diccionario-medico/terminos/escara

En el contexto específico del original, "escara sacra grado 4" hace referencia específica a una úlcera por presión/decúbito de grado 4 (stage 4 decubitus ulcer). De ahí la propuesta de traducción, evitando el innecesario literal "eschar" en este caso.
