What is sepsis
Sepsis (from DR.-Grech. -
Rotation), severe infectious disease of man and animals,
caused by falling into the blood and tissue of gloting microorganisms and
Products of their livelihoods - toxins. Sepsis pathogens: more often streptococci and staphylococci, less often - pneumococci,
Intestinal wand and other.
Usually sepsis - complication of the wound or
inflammatory process. In his development, a person plays an important role
Reducing the protective forces of the body due to severe disease,
operations, big blood loss, insufficient nutrition. Source of general
Infections may be supposed in the wound or complicated local
purulent diseases (furuncle, carbuncoon, phlegmon) -
T. N. Surgical sepsis; complications after childbirth or abortion when
«entrance gate» Infections is the mucous membrane of the uterus, -
obstetric and gynecological sepsis; Purulent processes or damage
urogenital system, stagnation and urine infection - UROSPSIS;
Acute or chronic purulent diseases of the oral cavity -
Rota Septis and T. D.
Manifestation of sepsis
Sepsis is manifested by local signs - in the primary focus
Diseases, such as wound cleansing and granulation growth

raid) and mainly common symptoms - headache (in heavy
Cases - confusion), an increase in body temperature up to 39-40° with
Large daily fluctuations, progressive weight loss, increase
Pulse, decrease in blood pressure, thrombosis, swelling, breakdown.
The clinical course of sepsis can be lightning (rapid development
manifestations for 1-2 days), sharp (up to 5-7 days), subacute and
Chronic. Often observed atypicity or «spontaneous» his
symptoms (so, and in the midst of the disease may not be high temperatures),
What is associated with a significant change in pathogenic properties
pathogens as a result of the mass use of antibiotics. Sepsis
can proceed with the formation of local uluses in various organs and
fabrics (driving infection from primary focus) - t.N. septicopemia, primary
which the flow of sepsis depends on the location of the glasses (for example,
an affectionant in the brain with the corresponding neurological disorders), and
without metastatic urnets t.N. septicemia often with more
rapid flow, sharply pronounced common symptoms.

losing elasticity, becomes dry, sometimes earthy color;
Often the local fitting in the navel region, deep
Phlegmons and abscesses of various localization. Manifestations of Sepsis W
Animals are mainly similar to his symptoms in humans.
Treatment of sepsis
Sepsis treatment is aimed at combating infection (large doses
antibiotics taking into account the sensitivity of the pathogen and sulfonamide
preparations) and an increase in the resistance of the body (reinforced and
Vitamined high calorie food, blood transfusion and
protein preparations, use of specific serums, outovaccines and
gammaglobulin). Local treatment in the presence of wounds: timely
Removal of dead fabrics and opening of purulent pillars, creating
permanent outflow of purulent discharge, processing of wound antibiotics and
Antiseptics.
