septicemia

[sep′tisē′mē·ə]

Etymology: Gk, septikos + haima, blood

systemic infection in which pathogens are present in the circulating blood, having spread from an infection in any part of the body. It is diagnosed by culture of the blood and is vigorously treated with antibiotics. Characteristically, septicemia causes fever, chill, hypotension, prostration, pain, headache, nausea, or diarrhea. Also spelled septicaemia. Also called blood poisoning. Compare bacteremia. See also septic shock. septicemic, adj.

septicemia [sep″tĭ-se´me-ah]

the presence of infective agents or their toxins in the bloodstream, popularly known as blood poisoning. It is characterized by elevated body temperature, chills, and weakness. Small abscesses may form on the surface of the body and red and blue streaks become apparent along the pathway of surface blood vessels leading to and from the site of the primary infection. A blood culture confirms the diagnosis and helps identify the most effective antiinfective drug for therapy. This is a serious condition that must be treated promptly; otherwise the process of infection leads to circulatory collapse, profound shock, and death. adj., adj septice´mic.

puerperal septicemia puerperal fever.

septicemia (sepˈ·t

·sēˑ·mē·

n the presence of virulent microorganisms or their toxins in the bloodstream; characterized by chill, fever, prostration, hypotension, headache, or pain. Also called
blood poisoning.

septicemia (sep´tisē´mē

n a condition in which pathogenic bacteria and bacterial toxins circulate in the blood. Manifestations include high temperature, leukocytosis, malaise, rapid pulse, and subsequent diffuse systemic degenerative disturbances.

septicemia

systemic disease associated with the presence and persistence of pathogenic microorganisms and their toxins in the blood. The resulting syndrome is a combination of the signs of toxemia and hyperthermia, i.e. fever, mucosal and conjunctival petechiation and evidence of localization in joints, eyes, meninges, heart valves. Proof is by positive blood culture or smear. See also specific infections, e.g. anthrax, pasteurellosis, colibacillosis. Called also blood poisoning.

bacterial hemorrhagic septicemia

includes many bacterial diseases of fish, e.g. vibriosis, but usually restricted to systemic infection by opportunists such as Aeromonas hydrophila, Pseudomonas spp.

cryptogenic septicemia

septicemia in which the focus of infection is not evident during life.

foal septicemia

rapidly fatal septicemia of the newborn foal caused by Actinobacillus equuli, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, β-hemolytic streptococcus.

hemorrhagic septicemia

septicemia characterized by marked petechiation on mucosae and serosae. Also used as a specific name for septicemic pasteurellosis in cattle; see hemorrhagic septicemia.

puerperal septicemia

that in which the focus of infection is a lesion of the mucous membrane received during parturition.

puppy septicemia

puppies normal at birth, weaken and die after the first 24 hours. The usual causes are infection by hemolytic streptococci, Escherichia coli and Brucella canis.

septicemia

Infectious disease A rapidly progressive, life-threatening infection characterized by bacteremia which may be 2º to local infection of respiratory, GI, or GU tracts, associated with osteomyelitis, meningitis, or infection of other tissues; it may rapidly lead to septic shock, death Clinical Onset heralded by spiking fever, chills, tachypnea, tachycardia, toxic appearance, sense of impending doom; Sx rapidly progress to shock–hypothermia, hypotension, changed mental status, clotting defects–eg, petechiae, ecchymosis; if caused by N meningococcus, shock, adrenal collapse, DIC. See Sepsis syndrome.
