		Septicaemia is the blood poisoning form of the disease.
		Septicaemia is a form of blood poisoning which may be caused by the same bugs that cause meningitis.
		Septicaemia is very serious and must be treated straight away.

	Septicaemia
		Septicaemia is a potentially life-threatening infection in which large amounts of bacteria are present in the blood.
		Septicaemia requires admission to an acute general hospital and may necessitate admission to an intensive care unit.
		Septicaemia is a rapidly progressive condition and the sufferer usually looks very ill even to the non-medical person.

	Septicaemia - Better Health Channel.
		Septicaemia is the presence of disease-causing bacteria in the blood.
		Septicaemia is fatal in about one in four cases because of the effects of large numbers of multiplying bacteria and the toxins they release in the blood.
		Septicaemia is diagnosed by medical history, physical examination, and blood tests to check for the presence of bacteria.

	The Royal Veterinary College - Foal Intensive Care Unit
		The clinical signs of septicaemia depend on the foal's immune reaction to the infection (they release cytokines in response to the infection, which have a number of different clinical effects) and any local site that the infection settles out in.
		Septicaemia, particularly in its early stages, can be very hard to differentiate from perinatal asphyxia syndrome.
		Treatment for foals with septicaemia can include antimicrobial therapy, carefully titrated fluid therapy, cardiovascular support with dobutamine, noradrenaline or vasopressin, support for the coagulation system (including plasma and/or anti-coagulants) and sometimes mechanical ventilation.

		This research is further compounded by the recent tragic deaths of three undergraduates from meningococcal septicaemia and highlights the trend of increasing numbers of deaths from this disease.
		Septicaemia is a form of blood poisoning and when it occurs on its own it is more life-threatening.
		Septicaemia is sometimes the main feature, especially in newborn babies, although a rash is not normally seen.

	Natural Remedies for Septicaemia
		Septicaemia and Meningitis are very dangerous and can kill in hours - urgent medical attention should be sought if either is suspected.
		Meningitis is an inflammation of the lining around the brain and spinal cord and can be viral or bacterial; the bacterial form is the most dangerous, it can be caused by various bacteria, but most cases are caused by the meningococcal bacteria.
		Septicaemia does not normally occur in cases of viral meningitis.

	Addenbrooke's Hospital:
		Septicaemia is a type of blood poisoning, which can be caused by the same bacteria that cause meningitis.
		Septicaemia can also make you very ill because it can reduce the amount of blood reaching your vital organs, such as the liver and kidneys.
		In septicaemia, the bacteria release toxins into the blood, which break down the walls of the blood vessels allowing blood to leak out under the skin.

		Septicaemia is blood poisoning caused by bacteria entering the bloodstream and multiplying uncontrollably.
		Septicaemia is particularly associated with the meningococcal bacteria.
		With meningococcal septicaemia a rash appears under the skin which may start anywhere on the body as a cluster of tiny spots, which look like pin-pricks in the skin.

	Immunisation
		Early symptoms of meningitis and septicaemia are non-specific and may be similar to a cold or flu (fever, vomiting, irritability and restlessness).
		Septicaemia can be caused by a number of infections, but meningococcal infection is the one most likely to cause the red or purple spots.
		Information on the signs and symptoms of meningitis and septicaemia are included in the leaflets produced by NHS Immunisation Information, and on the www.immunisation.nhs.uk website.

	Septicaemia Courses from MediaLab, Inc.
		Two syndromes were described; invasive streptococcal infection, occurring in previously healthy children and adults, commonly associated with septicaemia resulting from a deep focus of infection such as bone or lung; and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, involving a cutaneous focus, accompanied by necrotizing or bullous soft tissue changes.
		Septicaemia is rare in streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, but the most characteristic feature is one of rapidly progressing multi-organ failure.
		Although a number of forms of listeriosis are easily recognized, such as encephalitis, abortion and septicaemia, the epidemiological aspects and pathogenesis of infection in ruminants remain poorly understood.

	Meningococcal septicaemia in college students
		It has also been estimated that a student living in a dorm is up to three times more likely to acquire either meningitis or septicaemia than a student living off campus, leaving many campus health centers with a serious problem on their hands.
		Septicaemia is more serious and is caused by the release of toxins into the blood that break down the walls of vessels.
		In both septicaemia and meningitis, a rash can develop under the skin due to the blood leakage that may leave red or brownish pin prick spots.

		In this study, septicaemia was suspected among babies with poor skin colour, recurrent apnea and feed intolerance and these were the indications for plasma transfusion.
		It is remarkable that, the mortality among the cases with proven septicaemia was minimal whereas, a large proportion of the controls who had confirmed septicaemia succumbed to the illness despite the routine change of antibiotics.

	Aminoglycoside resistance in enterococci isolated from paediatric septicaemia in a tertiary care hospital in north ...
		Methods: Blood of paediatric cases with a clinical diagnosis of septicaemia was cultured to isolate and identify enterococci.
		Over the years, enterococci have become increasingly resistant to antibiotics in terms of both the multiplicity of resistance and the level of resistance to particular drugs', and have emerged as important nosocomial agents due to their colonizing ability and multi drug resistance2,3.
		A common regime for treatment of serious enterococcal infections such as septicaemia is the combination of cell wall inhibitors as penicillin, ampicillin or vancomycin with aniinoglycosides such as streptomycin or gentamicin4.

		Blood poisoning, or septicaemia, is a bacterial infection that occurs when bacteria get into the bloodstream and multiply rapidly.
		Blood poisoning is a potentially life-threatening infection that must be treated rapidly in order to prevent the infection from spreading to the heart and lungs.
		Septicaemia begins as an infection in the walls of the blood vessels, before developing into a tissue infection such as cellulitis.

		The main goal of the study is to learn more about salmonella septicaemia in Kenya, particularly to understand which children are at greatest risk for getting sick, so that environmental interventions to reduce the risk can be undertaken.
		From a total of 4095 paediatric admissions during the survey time period (five months), 60 cases (children with salmonella septicaemia by blood culture) were identified.
		The most severe disease occurred in the 53 children with non-typhoidal septicaemia, with an 18% fatality rate (no patients with typhoid died); 19% (10/53) had coexisting malaria parasitemia (compared to none with typhoid).

	THE PATTERN AND OUTCOME OF SEPTICAEMIA IN A BURNS INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
		The aim of the present study is to determine type of organisms responsible for septicaemia and the factors that may contribute to burn patient mortality.
		The study showed that the majority (93.5%) of the burn patients suffered only single episodes of septicaemia, which in most cases occurred during the first two weeks post-burn, as in other findings.20 In all the patients who had multiple episodes of septicaemia, this may have been be due to prolonged hospital stay.
		Patients colonized by MRSA are at greater risk of developing septicaemia, which can lead to significant morbidity and mortality.21 This study showed that 25% of cases of S. aureus bacteraemia were due to MRSA, a result comparable with other studies.
