Destruction of tissue by bacterial toxins; infection.
Widespread infection of the blood that causes the baby to become ill.
the infection of a wound or tissue with bacteria, causing the spread of the bacteria into the bloodstream; now also known as systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by a microbe
Bacterial infection usually causing pus to be formed.
Presence of micro-organisms in the blood stream leading to clinical symptoms (low blood pressure, fever etc)
Presence in blood or other body tissues of harmful bacteria spreading from a focal point of infection.
Commonly called a "blood stream infection." It is the presence of bacteria (bacteremia), infectious organisms, or their toxins in the blood or other tissues 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. It is also known as blood poisoning.
a morbid condition that results from the presence, in blood or body tissues, of pathogenic bacteria & their products
A life-threatening acute illness caused by blood stream invasion of microorganisms, producing various combinations of symptoms: low blood pressure, destruction of blood-clotting elements, and failure of lungs, kidneys, and other organs.
The presence of disease-causing organisms or their toxins in the blood or tissues.
The putrefactive destruction of tissues by disease causing bacteria.
The presence in the blood or other tissues of pathogenic microorganisms or their toxins
a toxic condition resulting from the spread of bacteria or their products (toxins) into the blood
the presence of pus-forming bacteria or their toxins in the blood or tissues
Bacterial growth found within the bloodstream.
the presence of pus-forming bacteria in the blood or tissues, such as in septicaemia (blood poisoning)
a toxic condition resulting from the spread of bacteria or their by-products in the body or the blood stream.
A toxic condition caused by the spread of bacteria from one place in the body to all over the body (such as through the blood).
The state of being infected with pus-producing organisms.
A state of infection of tissue due to disease-producing bacteria or toxins.
The body's response to an infection
A serious disease condition in which live bacteria are in the bloodstream. Can lead to an overwhelming infection and death if not treated properly and rapidly. Also called urosepsis when caused by a urinary infection.
Condition caused by inflammation or infection inside the body. Fever is a common symptom.
the presence of bacteria, virus, fungus, or other organism in the blood or other tissues and the toxins associated with the invasion.
the presence of pathogenic organism or their toxins in the blood or tissues. Symptoms include a sudden drop in blood pressure and changes in heart rate.
The presence of various microorganisms, their poisonous products or their toxins in the blood or tissue.
When disease-causing bacteria from an area of infection spread into the bloodstream and tissues.
The pathological condition that results from the presence of pathogenic microorganisms or their toxins in blood or other tissues.
A clinical condition in which infectious agents (bacteria, fungi) or products of infection (bacterial toxins) enter the blood and profoundly affect body systems.
the presence of pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria) or their toxins in the blood or other tissues
An infection in the blood or other tissues.
Amplified, body-wide inflammatory response to traumatic injury, severe bleeding, or an infection caused by microorganisms like bacteria or fungi; typical symptoms include fever, mental confusion, a drop in blood pressure, and lung and kidney failure
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. See the entire definition of Sepsis
Severe infection characterized by the presence of bacteria in the blood stream.
This is a potentially dangerous infection of the bloodstream which indicates that a germ is present which the baby has difficulty fighting off. Certain lab tests, cultures, and X-rays can help diagnose this condition, which is considered when a baby demonstrates certain symptoms, such as temperature instability or irregular blood sugars. The condition is treated with antibiotics, and the baby is monitored closely for an improvement in symptoms.
The presence of organisms which are usually bacteria in the blood stream or tissues. This is a more life-threatening situation since these organisms can now be spread by the circulation throughout the body. Also the presence of organisms in the circulation often is associated with high fever, shaking chills, and may be accompanied by even a drop in one's blood pressure.
An infection in the blood, commonly called blood poisoning.
A widespread infection of multiple parts of the body. This usually begins in one place and spreads. It is particularly common in very young people, very old people, people with AIDS, people with diabetes, or those on cancer chemotherapy treatments.
infection involving the blood stream.
A condition caused by bacteria or other germs in the blood or tissues; a type of blood poisoning.
an infection of the blood or other tissue.
The presence of infection-causing organisms in the blood.
The presence of harmful microorganisms or associated toxins in the blood.
presence of pathogenic organisms or their toxins in the blood.
pathological condition due to presence of organisms in blood
A diseased state caused by the presence of pathogenic microorganisms in the bloodstream.
Also known as gram-negative bacteremia and gram-positive bacteremia. An overwhelming bacterial infection of the Blood and body organs caused by bacteria that has entered body tissue, most often through a wound or incision, that leads to the formation of pus, and/or to the spread of the bacteria throughout the blood stream.
Infection caused by micro-organisms and affecting the entire body.
Sepsis (in Greek Σήψις, putrefaction) is a serious medical condition, resulting from the immune response to a severe infection. Septicaemia is sepsis of the bloodstream caused by bacteremia, which is the presence of bacteria in the bloodstream. The term septicaemia is also used to refer to sepsis in general.
