What Are the Symptoms of Blood Poisoning?

Surgical or conventional dental procedures for infected oral tissues, infected lower urinary tracts, abscessectomy and drainage, and bacterial growth of internal devices, especially intravenous and intracardiac catheters, urinary catheters, and ostomy Both organs and catheters can cause transient bacteremia. Typical Gram-negative bacteremia is intermittent and opportunistic. Although this bacteremia may not affect healthy people, it is useful for patients with immunocompromised patients with severe illness, patients after chemotherapy, and severe malnutrition. Can have serious consequences. The initial site of infection is usually in the lungs, urogenital tract, gastrointestinal tract, or soft tissue, including skin with decubitus ulcers. It can also occur in at-risk populations, especially after dental surgery in patients with heart valve disease, artificial heart valves, or other endovascular prostheses.

Symptoms of systemic infection poisoning

Symptoms of systemic infection are due to the interaction between the body and the pathogenic bacteria. Due to the weak immune function of the body, the pathogenic bacteria cannot be limited to the local area, which causes the pathogenic bacteria and their toxins to spread to the surroundings and cause invasion through the lymphatic tract or the bloodstream. The main manifestation is the slowing of systemic metabolic rate. It is an endocrine and metabolic disease, which lacks tissue specificity and organ specificity. After the hormones secreted by the endocrine glands enter the blood circulation, they play their physiological role with the blood flow reaching various organs and tissues throughout the body.

Pus or body fluids should be obtained from all infected sites, including infected body cavities, joint spaces, soft tissues, and diseased skin for Gram staining and culture. Blood culture should include aerobic and anaerobic cultures, and two blood cultures should be performed at an interval of 1 hour. Blood should be taken from different sites of the vein each time. Two blood cultures are sufficient for the initial diagnosis of bacteremia, but negative staining or culture results cannot rule out bacteremia, especially in patients who have previously received antibiotics, let alone bacteremia. This minimum of two blood culture specimens should be taken from a properly prepared venotomy site. In addition, sputum, catheterization sites, and wound specimens can be cultured.

Potential poisoning: refers to the physiological, biochemical, and pathological changes of the body caused by long-term repeated entry into the body under dose conditions that do not cause acute poisoning, and the poisoning state or disease state of clinical symptoms and signs.

Acute poisoning: A large number of poisons enter the human body through the skin, mucous membranes, respiratory tract, and digestive tract in a short time, causing damage to the body and dysfunction, which is called acute poisoning. Acute poisoning is a common clinical emergency. Its condition is rapid and changes rapidly. Diagnosis and emergency treatment must be made as soon as possible.

If all obvious or hidden suppurative lesions can be removed early, the incidence of bacteremia can be reduced. Common childhood infectious diseases such as measles, influenza, whooping cough, etc., are often prone to secondary respiratory bacterial infections, which can cause bacteremia. For such children, protection must be strengthened. No matter how small the skin trauma must be paid attention to, appropriate treatment early. With the continuous improvement of environmental hygiene, personal hygiene, nutritional status and pediatric health care, the incidence of bacteremia will inevitably decline.
