1 Septicaemia Definitions 1 Term Definition Bacteraemia Systemic Inflammatory response (SIRS) Sepsis Bacteria that can be cultured from the blood stream The systemic response to a wide range of stresses. Criteria include two or more of the following: Temperature >38 o C or < 36 o C Heart rate > 90 beats/min Respiratory rate > 20 breaths per min, or Paco 2 < 32 mm Hg (KPa?) WBC > 12,000 / mm 3 or < 4,000 / mm 3, or > 10% immature (band) forms Systemic response to infection associated with proven or clinically suspected infection Severe sepsis or Sepsis syndrome Septic shock Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) - Staphylococcal TSS - Streptococcal TSS Sepsis associated with dysfunction of organ(s) distant from the site of infection, hypoperfusion, or hypotension. Sepsis with hypotension that, despite adequate fluid resuscitation, requires pressor therapy. In addition, there are perfusion abnormalities e.g. lactic acidosis, oliguria, altered mental status, and acute lung injury Acute febrile illness characterised by a generalised erythematous skin rash due to in vivo production of a toxin, often asymptomatic or unnoticed infection by S. aureus strains capable of toxin production. In addition to SIRS like symptoms early features also include conjunctival, oropharingeal, and vaginal hyperemia; vomiting, diarrhoea and myalgia. The most common symptoms include temp >40 o C, hypotension and difuse erythroderma with descamation 1 to 2 weeks after onset. The term streptococcal toxic shock syndrome has been suggested for patients with S. pyogenes (Group A streptococcus) infection with hypotension and multiorgan failure as occurs in staphylococcal TSS Streptococcal TSS is sometimes referred to as Toxic shock-like syndrome (TSLS). Urgent : 1- Replete Intravascular volume 2- Source control if possible 3- Empiric antibiotics Although restricting the use of antibiotics, and particularly broad-spectrum antibiotics, is important for limiting superinfection and for decreasing the development of antibiotic resistant pathogens, patients with severe sepsis or septic shock warrant broad-spectrum therapy until the causative organism and its antibiotic susceptibilities are defined. For detailed information please refer to Surviving sepsis campaign
