👉 Dans-infection, also known as bacteremia, is a medical condition where bacteria enter the bloodstream, leading to an infection throughout the body. This occurs when bacteria from an external source, such as the skin, respiratory tract, or gastrointestinal system, are introduced into the blood stream, often through breaks in the body's defenses like cuts, surgical sites, or during invasive procedures. Once in the bloodstream, these bacteria can multiply rapidly, potentially causing systemic inflammation and a wide range of complications, from mild fever to severe sepsis or septic shock. The severity of the infection depends on factors such as the type and number of bacteria, the patient's immune system, and the site of entry into the bloodstream. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to combat the bacterial infection.
