The popular name for bacterial infection spreading through the blood.

A widely used term for the condition known as septicaemia with toxaemia is blood poisoning. This life-threatening illness occurs when bacteria multiply and produce toxins within the bloodstream. Septicaemia often arises as a complication of an infection in a particular organ or tissue. In certain cases of infectious diseases, septic shock can be triggered by the release of bacterial toxins. The treatment for blood poisoning involves the administration of antibiotic drugs and intensive therapy to manage shock, aiming to combat the infection and stabilize the patient’s condition.
