Failure to Detect and Treat Infections
When a person visits a physician and undergoes the various prescribed tests, the person expects the physician to detect and treat the infections. However many times, 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 a 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 may result in abnormal functioning of the said organs. Sepsis is caused by a bacterial infection that can begin anywhere in the body.
Some of the most common symptoms of the infection are:
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.
Sepsis can also result in septic arthritis. Septic arthritis, also referred to as infectious arthritis, is caused by a bacterial infection or sometimes by a fungal or viral infection. The condition is typically acute, causing severe joint pain, inflammation, redness, and in some cases fever and chills. It may also become chronic. Septic arthritis can affect any joint including the knee, hip, shoulder, wrist, elbow, and finger joints. It must be diagnosed and treated quickly because it can destroy joints in a short period of time.
