Infection of blood, which has a different name -sepsis, is a disease that is chronic or acute. This disease is expressed in very rapid reproduction in the blood of a viral, bacterial or fungal microflora. Infection of blood can occur and as a result of getting into the body of pathogenic bacteria from some source. In most cases, the infection spreads very quickly.
Infection of the blood: signs.
The disease is usually provoked by pathogens such as intestinal and tuberculosis bacilli, various cocci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and others.
At the same time, mandatoryhospitalization. In such conditions, timely antibacterial treatment gives a positive result, expressed in reducing the body's intoxication, gradually lowering the temperature.
The first signs of infection of the blood are expressed insevere chills and fever, there is a rash of papular or hemorrhagic nature. In the future, the symptoms of the disease may depend on the degree of intoxication of the body, manifested in a critical increase in body temperature. Very often symptoms are a significant increase in the liver and spleen, there is a strong sweating, which appears after fever and chills, lethargy and weakness, inactivity, upset of the stool.
Infection of the blood must be treated in a timely manner.Otherwise, due to numerous deviations and lesions of almost all systems and organs, a fatal outcome may occur. At a late stage, sepsis can manifest itself as a thrombosis that affects, in particular, the lower extremities.
Within a month from the onset of the disease process inurine there is a protein of blood and erythrocytes, tachycardia clearly manifests itself, as well as arthralgia in joints. These manifestations of blood poisoning, caused by disturbances in the immune system of a person, which develop against the background of improvement of the basic indicators of infection, must be distinguished from the symptoms of a directly septic anomaly of a bacterial nature.
The main clinical signs of bacterialInfection of the blood can manifest only in the initial stage of the disease. These symptoms are found in an inflammatory process of a purulent nature in one of the internal organs. Similarly, endocarditis and myocarditis with a purulent character occur. It can be a renal and pulmonary tissue prone to various purulent infections. The main areas of blood poisoning treatment are intensive therapy with antibacterial drugs and the elimination of intravascular disseminated blood clotting. Untimely carrying out resuscitation can cause gangrene of the extremities, hemorrhage to the adrenal glands, and other irreversible changes in internal organs.
For a more accurate diagnosis of a veinblood is taken for biochemical analysis and coagulation tests. When conducting a study, the number of platelets and reticulocytes is compulsorily counted. After blood collection using the same needle in the vein, an antibiotic is introduced, corresponding to the nature of the alleged infection, in the most affordable dose. In critical situations it is necessary to urgently conduct plasmapheresis. About 1.5 liters of plasma are removed from the body, which is replaced by 2/3 of fresh frozen plasma. In particularly severe cases, the volume of freshly frozen plasma can be larger than the volume of the plasma that is removed.
In addition to plasmapheresis, "Heparin" is used, the daily dose of which for an adult is 20-24 thousand units. This drug is administered intravenously by a dropper either hourly, or even continuously.
