What is septicemia &what r the symptomes,How can we fight among this disease?

Septicemia is the presence of bacteria in the blood; often associated with severe disease. It is a very serious, life-threatening infection that gets worse very quickly and can even lead to death. It can arise from infections throughout the body, including infections in the lungs, abdomen, and urinary tract and can lead to septic shock and death if not quickly treated.

Symptoms of Septicemia include:

-fevers and chills
-rapid breathing and heart rate
-decreased body temperature
-falling blood pressure
-confusion or other changes in mental status
-blood-clotting abnormalities evidenced by a specific type of red spots on the skin
-irritable, lethargic, anxious
-comatose
-cyanotic (blue)

Physical examination may show:

-low blood pressure
-low body temperature or fever
-signs of associated disease (meningitis, epiglottitis, pneumonia, cellulitis, or others)

Tests that can confirm infection include:
-blood culture
-urine culture
-CSF culture
-culture of any suspect skin lesion
-CBC
-platelet count
-clotting studies
-PT
-PTT
-fibrinogen levels
-blood gas

Septicemia must be treated in a hospital, usually with admission to an intensive care unit through IV antibiotics and sometimes oxygen therapy. Plasma or other treatment may also be needed for correction of clotting abnormalities.

Septic shock has a high death rate, exceeding 50%, depending on the type of organism involved.

Hope that helps.
