The difference between sepsis and bacteremia

Bacteremia refers to the condition in which external bacteria enter the bloodstream through surface entry points or sites of infection, then multiply within the body and spread via the bloodstream throughout the entire system, leading to serious consequences. Generally, localized infections caused by catheters or surface surgeries may lead to bacteremia. Sepsis refers to the invasion and proliferation of pathogenic bacteria in the bloodstream, causing systemic symptoms of infection and toxicity, such as chills, high fever, rashes, joint pain, and enlargement of the liver and spleen. It is recommended to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables in daily life to enhance the body's immunity.
