Commonly called a "blood stream
infection." The
presence of bacteria (bacteremia) or other infectious organisms or
their toxins in the blood (septicemia) or in other tissue of the
body.
Sepsis may be associated
with clinical symptoms of systemic (bodywide) illness, such as fever,
chills, malaise (generally feeling "rotten"),
low blood pressure, and mental status changes. Sepsis can be a
serious situation, a life threatening disease calling for urgent and
comprehensive care.
Treatment depends on the type of infection,
but usually begins with antibiotics or similar medications.
