Septicaemia (Be aware of symptoms, occur at anytime)

Septicaemia is when bacteria enter the bloodstream, and cause blood poisoning which triggers sepsis.

This can occur more quickly in patients who have a weak immune system condition.

Do not wait, if one develops swollen lymph nodes, streaks on skin from injury site and feeling unwell, one may have lymphangitis, you will most likely need antibiotics. If antibiotics do not work, it may be fungal and/or viral. Please let the healthcare professional know what may have caused this.
