Blood tests showed infection?

i have problems with deep vein thrombosis had a blood test it came back showing an infection
whats infected? my blood??
got anti biotics but wondered what would be infected

this started with phlebitis and got worse

I think you need to go and ask your doctor about this. I'm surprised you weren't given more information at the time your antibiotics were prescribed.
You seem to be having a tough time of late - deep vein thrombosis, infection and a mooing computer - so I hope things pick up for you very quickly!

I guess only your dr can answer this since there are multiple possibilities.

Maybe you should ask, they should of told you really. I had blood test which showed 99.9% I had a deep vein thrombosis.... had a scan to find it only to find I didnt have one!!!! Explain that!!! Im obviosly the 0.01% it seems!!!!

I am a new graduate nurse. I can make an educated guess for you but I can not diagnose for you. yet again I may be wrong because i do not know your medical history.

Deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in the veins) can occlude veins leading to blood pooling and stagnating leading to infection.

Your doctor will give you a much more accurate response than I or anyone else will on this site
Did you have a cannula in? This can be a port of entry for infection ,veins can become irritated and inflammed(phlebitis) which can trigger DVT.

I am a med student, and what I can tell you is that generally when there is an elevated amount of white blood cells in a sample it means that there is an infection somewhere(could be anywhere) in your body. Antibiotics can be multi-use for different infections and a specific target doesn't need to be known.

The cardio-vascular system provides a network of blood supply to the whole body and every organ in the body. An infection anywhere will cause indicators of that infection to circulate within the blood supply network where the body's natural defences will strive to overcome and destroy the 'intruders', whether they be bacteria, viral particles, mycoplasmoids, toxins, etc. Sometimes, those defence mechanisms need help or a boost, and thus antibiotics (broad spectrum or specific to the infection) or other treatments are prescribed.
GU infections are quite common, but even a septic spot or infected cut can show up as an infection in the blood. Worrying about it will not help you, but to set your mind at rest you must ask your GP what type of infection is indicated and its probable source. This could help you guard against any future similar infections by modifications in your life style and hygiene methods.

that is only a ???? /yr dr can answer

Most DVT's disappear without difficulty, however there is a risk of recurrence. Some patients may develop some chronic pain and swelling in the leg known as post phlebitic syndrome. Pulmonary embolus is uncommon when DVT's are treated properly but can occur and can be life threatening.
Post-thrombotic syndrome refers to the long-term effects that can occur after venous thrombosis. It is characterized by chronic pain, swelling, heaviness and other signs in the affected limb and in severe cases, venous ulcers may develop. It is the most common complication of deep venous thrombosis. Other complications may include purpura,eczematoid reaction,dermatitis ,pruritis and ulceration. Its also referred as Post-phlebitic syndrome.
Septicemia is the presence of bacteria in the blood (bacteremia) and is often associated with severe disease. This disorder must be treated in a hospital, usually with admission to an intensive care unit.
