Sepsis :
Sepsis arises from an extreme response that the body exhibits towards an infection. Other infections leading to sepsis are pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and abdominal infections. The chemicals that the body sends into the blood to fight the pathogen become uncontrolled in sepsis, which causes inflammation and thrombosis of organs of the body and failure of the organs. The common symptoms of sepsis include chills, fever, rapid heart rate, rapid breathing, confusion, and acute pain or discomfort. Most cases of sepsis deteriorate and become septic shock, which causes low blood pressure and eventually leads to multiorgan failure, which may prove fatal. Both clinical examination and laboratory diagnosis will be considered as the diagnosis of sepsis. Doctors may conduct research to identify the presence of signs of infection, keep records of his vital signs, or run blood tests by detecting the presence of bacteria and other pathogens. The treatment would be emergent and probably add intravenous antibiotics to help manage infection, hydration to maintain blood pressure, and support care for the failing organs. Probably added to the treatment might include oxygen, drugs to control blood pressure, or surgery for eliminating an infection source when possible. Sepsis usually advances rapidly. Thus, it is much important that early diagnosis and its management take place. Preventive measures for this include hygiene, vaccination, and early treatment of infections to inhibit the chances of sepsis.
