摘要
Septicemia, also known as sepsis, is a serious and life-threatening condition that can occur when the body's immune system responds uncontrollably to an infection in the chest, such as pneumonia or bronchitis. Chest infections can cause septicemia when the infection spreads from the lungs to other parts of the body, such as the bloodstream. Objective: To explore the link between septicemia and chest infection. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study that was conducted at Mayo Hospital in Lahore. The study included 101 patients with septicemia who were admitted to the medical wards and emergency room. Each patient underwent a liver function test, a kidney function test, and a full blood count. The data were analyzed using the latest version of SPSS. Results: Among the 101 patients, 13 patients (8 males and 5 females) were found to have septicemia due to chest infection. The patients had varying levels of bilirubin, blood glucose, blood urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium, ALT, AST, ALP, total protein, albumin, white blood cells, platelets, and hemoglobin. Conclusions: Chest infections such as pneumonia and bronchitis can lead to septicemia, which can be life-threatening. Early detection and treatment of chest infections are important to prevent the development of septicemia. Patients with weakened immune systems or chronic lung disease should be closely monitored for signs of infection. This study provides insight into the characteristics of septicemia due to chest infection, which can help healthcare professionals in the diagnosis and management of this condition.
