Failure to Detect and Treat Infections
If a person visits a physician and undergoes the various prescribed tests, the person expects the physician to detect and treat the infections. But on many occasions, physicians fail to detect and treat infections. Failure to detect and treat infections can result in sepsis.
Sepsis is a condition in which the body is fighting a severe infection that has spread via the bloodstream. If the patient becomes "septic," they will likely be in a state of low blood pressure. Sepsis results in failure to supply blood to some vital organs of the body like the kidneys, lungs, liver, and the central nervous system. This can cause abnormal functioning of the organs. Sepsis is caused by a bacterial infection that can begin anywhere in the body.
The following are the most common symptoms of sepsis:
- High or low body temperatures that cannot be explained
- A drop in blood pressure
- Chills
- Rapid heart beat
- Low urine output
- Mentally un-stable state like deliriums
- Disorientation
- Fever
- Confusion
- Agitation
- Decreased urination
- Dizziness
- Pain in the wrists, arms, elbows, back, knees and ankle joints
- Reddish color rash with dark spots on the skin
- Increased white blood cell count
Sepsis can also cause septic arthritis. Septic arthritis, also known as infectious arthritis, is caused by a bacterial infection or sometimes by a fungal or viral infection. The condition is often acute, resulting in severe joint pain, inflammation, redness, and in certain cases fever and chills. It can also turn chronic. Septic arthritis can affect any joint including the knee, hip, shoulder, wrist, elbow, and finger joints. It must be detected and treated quickly as it can destroy joints in a short period of time.
