A prospective cross-sectional study looking into bloodstream infections in the intensive care unit of tertiary hospitals

Abstract

Assuming that blood is sterile, the presence of any microorganisms in it should cause concern. When live, transient bacteria are found in the circulation, the disease is known as bacteremia. A small percentage of invasive bacteria typically cause symptoms because the immune system swiftly gets rid of these temporary invaders, yet bacteremia can still happen occasionally . Because more cells enter the circulation than can be effectively removed, the infectious agent in septicemia spreads throughout the body. Sclerotherapy on sick tissues or local illnesses (like pneumonia) can potentially result in septicemia.
