What is septicemia? Is it serious

summary

Septicemia is mainly caused by bacteria invading the blood circulation system. The symptoms are related to the severity of the disease. Let's take a look at what sepsis is. Is it serious.

What is septicemia? Is it serious

First of all: septicemia refers to the acute systemic infection caused by pathogenic bacteria or conditional pathogenic bacteria invading the blood circulation, growing and reproducing in the blood and producing toxins. If the bacteria invading the blood stream are cleared by the body's defense function, and there is no obvious symptom of toxemia, it is called bacteremia. Sepsis with multiple abscesses and a longer course of disease is called sepsis.

Secondly, whether the bacteria invading the human body will cause sepsis is closely related to the virulence and quantity of the invading bacteria and the defense immune function of the human body. Septicemia is still serious.

Finally: sepsis itself has no special clinical manifestations, and the manifestations seen in sepsis can also be seen in other acute infections, such as repeated chills or even chills, high fever can be flaccid or intermittent, skin rash dominated by petechiae, arthralgia involving large joints, mild hepatosplenomegaly, severe cases can have mental changes, myocarditis, septic shock, and disseminated intravascular coagulation Blood (DIC), respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis caused by various pathogenic bacteria have different clinical characteristics.

matters needing attention

Rest in bed, strengthen nutrition, supplement appropriate amount of vitamin. Maintain water, electrolyte and acid-base balance. Patients need to timely choose the appropriate antibacterial drugs for treatment, which is conducive to the stability of the disease.
