Can you die from Infections of the respiratory tract, sinuses, kidney, ear, or skin?

Yes, if the infection is severe enough and goes untreated, it can be fatal. Everyones immune system is different, some have a higher tolerance than others. If you have an infection, see a Dr., its not worth the risk. Good luck!!!

Kidney infections can seriously mess you up.

I almost died from Legionnaire's disease, so yes you can.

yes you can, all areas you mention have serious diseases that could kill you if contracted. But more importantly and infection can kill if left untreated.

You don't die from infections, but from complications. A respiratory tract infection, if not taken care of, can result in pneumonia, and so forth.

Any and all infections can kill you if left untreated.

someone I cared for had a kidney replacement and died to a staff infection in his blood that he got during the surgery.

any infection can kill but some kinds usually don't

infections can lead to other infections even if the original one doesn't kill

example sinus can lead to bronchial asmtha and that can kill

Yes.

Absolutely, any infection can kill you if it is bad enough.
