Septicemia Written by Krista O'Connell and Jacquelyn Cafasso Medically Reviewed


What Is Septicemia?

Highlights

  1. Septicemia is an infection of the blood, also known as bacteremia or blood poisoning.
  2. It must be treated in the hospital. If left untreated, septicemia can progress into sepsis.
  3. One of the best ways to prevent this condition is to see a doctor right away if you suspect you have an infection.
Septicemia is a serious bloodstream infection. It’s also known as bacteremia, or blood poisoning. Septicemia occurs when a bacterial infection elsewhere in the body, such as in the lungs or skin, enters the bloodstream. This is dangerous because the bacteria and their toxins can be carried through the bloodstream to your entire body.
Septicemia can quickly become life-threatening. It must be treated in a hospital. If it’s left untreated, septicemia can progress to sepsis.
Septicemia and sepsis aren’t the same. Sepsis is a serious complication of septicemia. Sepsis is when inflammation throughout the body occurs. This inflammation can cause blood clots and block oxygen from reaching vital organs, resulting in organ failure. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates that over 1 million Americans get severe sepsis each year. Between 28 and 50 percent of these patients may die from the condition. When the inflammation occurs with extremely low blood pressure, it’s called septic shock. Septic shock is fatal in many cases.

What Causes Septicemia?

Causes
Septicemia is caused by an infection in another part of your body. This infection is typically severe. Many types of bacteria can lead to septicemia. The exact source of the infection often can’t be determined. The most common infections that lead to septicemia are:
  • urinary tract infections
  • lung infections, such as pneumonia
  • kidney infections
  • infections in the abdominal area
Bacteria from these infections enter the bloodstream and multiply rapidly, causing immediate symptoms.
People who are already in the hospital for something else, such as a surgery, are at a higher risk of developing septicemia. Secondary infections can occur while in the hospital. These infections are often more dangerous because the bacteria may already be resistant to antibiotics. You’re also at a higher risk of developing septicemia if you:
  • have severe wounds or burns
  • are very young or very old
  • have a compromised immune system, which can occur from diseases such as HIV or leukemia
  • have a urinary or intravenous catheter
  • are on mechanical ventilation
  • are receiving medical treatments that weaken your immune system, such as chemotherapy or steroid injections

What Are the Symptoms of Septicemia?

Symptoms
The symptoms of septicemia usually start very quickly. Even in the first stages of the illness, a person can look very sick. They may follow an injury, surgery, or another localized (confined to one location) infection, like pneumonia. The most common initial symptoms are:
  • chills
  • elevated body temperature (fever)
  • very fast respiration
  • rapid heart rate
More severe symptoms will begin to emerge as the septicemia progresses without proper treatment. These include the following:
  • confusion or inability to think clearly
  • nausea and vomiting
  • red dots that appear on the skin
  • reduced urine volume
  • inadequate blood flow (shock)
It’s crucial to get to the hospital right away if you or someone else is showing signs of septicemia. Never take a “wait and see” approach or try to treat the problem at home.

Complications of Septicemia

Complications Icon
Septicemia has a number of serious complications. These complications may be fatal if left untreated or if treatment is delayed for too long.

Sepsis

Sepsis occurs when your body has a strong immune response to the infection. This leads to widespread inflammation throughout the body. It’s called severe sepsis if it leads to organ failure. People with chronic diseases, such as HIV or cancer, are at a higher risk of sepsis. This is because they have a weakened immune system and can’t fight off the infection on their own.

Septic Shock

One complication of septicemia is a serious drop in blood pressure. This is called septic shock. Toxins released by the bacteria in the bloodstream can cause extremely low blood flow, which may result in organ or tissue damage. Septic shock is a medical emergency. People with septic shock are usually cared for in a hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU). You may need to be put on a ventilator, or breathing machine, if you’re in septic shock.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

A third complication of septicemia is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This is a life-threatening condition that prevents enough oxygen from reaching your lungs and blood. According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), ARDS is fatal in about one-third of cases. It often results in some level of permanent lung damage. It can also damage your brain, which can lead to memory problems.

How Is Septicemia Diagnosed?

Diagnosis
Diagnosing septicemia and sepsis are some of the biggest challenges facing doctors. It can be difficult to find the exact cause of the infection. Diagnosis will usually involve a wide range of tests.
Your doctor will evaluate your symptoms and ask about your medical history. They’ll perform a physical examination to look for low blood pressure or body temperature. The doctor may also look for signs of conditions that more commonly occur along with septicemia. These conditions include pneumonia, meningitis, and cellulitis.
Your doctor may want to perform tests on multiple types of fluids to help confirm a bacterial infection. These may include the following:
  • urine
  • wound secretions and skin sores
  • respiratory secretions
  • blood
Your doctor may look for your cell and platelet counts and also order tests to analyze your blood clotting.
Your doctor may also look at the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in your blood if septicemia is causing you to have breathing issues.
If signs of infection are not obvious, your doctor may order test to look more closely at specific organs and tissue, such as:
  • X-ray
  • MRI
  • CT scan
  • ultrasound

Treatment for Septicemia

Treatment
Septicemia that has started to affect your organs or tissue function is a medical emergency. It must be treated at a hospital. Many people with septicemia are admitted to a hospital’s ICU for treatment and recovery.
Your treatment will depend on several factors, including:
  • your age
  • your overall health
  • the extent of your condition
  • your tolerance for certain medications
Antibiotics are used to treat the bacterial infection that’s causing septicemia. There isn’t typically enough time to figure out which type of bacteria is causing the infection. Initial treatment will usually use “broad-spectrum” antibiotics. These are designed to work against a wide range of bacteria at once. A more focused antibiotic may be used if the specific bacterium is identified.
You may get fluids and other medications intravenously to maintain your blood pressure or to prevent blood clots from forming. You may also get oxygen through a mask or ventilator if you experience breathing issues as a result of septicemia.

Is There Any Way to Prevent Septicemia?

Prevention
Bacterial infections are the underlying cause of septicemia. See a doctor right away if you think you have this condition. If your infection can be effectively treated with antibiotics in the early stages, you may be able to prevent the bacteria from entering your bloodstream. Parents can help protect children from septicemia by ensuring they stay up to date with their vaccinations.
If you already have a compromised immune system, the following precautions can help prevent septicemia:
  • avoid smoking
  • avoid illegal drugs
  • eat a healthy diet
  • exercise
  • wash your hands regularly
  • stay away from people who are sick

What Is the Outlook?

Outlook
When diagnosed very early, septicemia can be treated effectively with antibiotics. Research efforts are focused on finding out better ways to diagnose the condition earlier.
If you develop the symptoms of septicemia or sepsis after surgery or an infection, seek medical care right away. Even with treatment, it’s possible to have permanent organ damage. This is especially true for people with pre-existing conditions that affect how well their immune systems work.
There have been many recent medical developments in diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and training for septicemia. This has helped reduce mortality rates. According to a study published in Critical Care Medicine, the hospital mortality rate from severe sepsis has decreased from 47 percent (between 1991 and 1995) to 29 percent (between 2006 and 2009).

Actress Selma Blair carried off plane on stretcher after screaming 'he burns my private parts'

American film, television, and theater actress, Selma Blair, was carried off on a stretcher while on first class on a plane with her son for exhibiting strange behaviour after reportedly mixing medication with wine.
The Anger Management star was forcibly removed from the Delta flight when it arrived in Los Angeles after the concerned pilot got in touch with air control to report her behaviour, which included her shouting 'he burns my private parts'.
 
Witnesses at the scene claimed the 43-year-old, who was travelling with her young son Arthur, had been sitting in first class drinking wine, when she appeared to mix something in the glass, reportedly medication.
“He burns my private parts. He won’t let me eat or drink,” the actress who recently played Kris Jenner in the FX miniseries “The People v. O.J. Simpson,” allegedly said.
“He beats me. He’s going to kill me,” she said, according to TMZ.
The Delta airlines pilot reportedly called ahead to let airport officials know a passenger was in distress and medical personnel took Blair to a nearby hospital.

Samson Siasia reveals Man City snubbd him over Kelechi Iheanacho's participation at Rio Olympics

Nigeria's Olympics football team coach Samson Siasia has revealed how Manchester City football club snubbed his attempts to get permission for striker Kelechi Iheanacho to participate in the upcoming Rio Olympics this summer.
According to Siasia, Man City have snubbed several NFF letters written to them.

“The Nigeria Football Federation has written several letters to them (Manchester City) wanting to know when the player would be released for the Games in Brazil, but as I speak with you the club has not replied," Siasia told the Manchester Evening News.
“So for now I cannot confidently tell you that Iheanacho would be available for the Olympics, although we are not relenting on the issue as the NFF is fighting tooth and nail to ensure we have our best players for the Olympics."
Siasia further said Iheanacho himself wants to play in Rio.
“Kelechi told me he is anxious to play in the Olympics and I am sure with much pressure the boy would be released eventually,” he said.
“But for now I cannot tell you he will be in the Olympics.”

Police announce $10k reward for info on 19 year old girl found naked and shot to dead in city park

Atlanta police and a councilwoman are offering a combined $10,000 reward for the killers of Bridget Shiel, 19, who was found shot dead and naked in a city park on May 31 according to reports by AJC.com.

Bridget Shiel's body was dumped in a grassy area near a basketball court in Oakland City Park after she was shot multiple times in the back, buttocks and legs.

 Before she was killed, two men were seen with her!

“We don’t feel, based on what witnesses said, she was there willingly, and these two males may be perpetrators of this crime,” Detective Vince Velazquez said in a press conference on Friday.
One of the men with Shiel looked to be between 20 and 30 years old with a goatee and wearing a white T-shirt. Police said there was no clear description of the other man. While there is no evidence of sexual assault, “we have to suspect there was at least some kind of attempt,” Velazquez said.

Atlanta Police believe Shiel knew her killers, and that she was shot elsewhere and before being transported to the park.
“Somebody knows something out there. Somebody knows something,” Atlanta City Councilwoman Cleta Winslow said during a news conference Monday. “So please come forward.” “When shots are being fired and it’s around our children, that is something that is very serious and very close to my heart,” she said.
Councilwoman Winslow offered $5,000 toward the reward fund while the Atlanta Police Foundation will match the amount, according to AJC.com

Shiel’s funeral was held on June 11th after her family raised $5,000 toward her funeral costs via a Gofundme account.
