Other sepsis - what does this mean
Other sepsis is a type of sepsis that is caused by an infection from a source other than the bloodstream. it can be caused by bacteria, fungi, or parasites that enter the body through the skin, lungs, or urinary tract. it can cause a range of symptoms, including fever, chills, confusion, and organ failure. treatment usually involves antibiotics and supportive care.
What happens during the disease - other sepsis
Other sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (sirs) caused by an infection in the body that can be bacterial, viral, fungal, or even parasitic. it occurs when the body's immune system is overwhelmed by the infection, resulting in a dysregulated inflammatory response that can lead to multiple organ failure and death. the infection can enter the body through cuts, wounds, or even through the lungs, and can spread to the bloodstream, leading to systemic infection. early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent the progression of the infection and to reduce the risk of organ failure and death.

- Conduct a urine test to look for bacteria or other pathogens.
- Perform a lumbar puncture to collect cerebrospinal fluid for testing.
- Order a bronchoscopy to look for infection in the lungs.
