Abstract
Bacteraemia, the presence of bacteria in the bloodstream, is a medical condition that poses significant health risks if left untreated. This article provides an overview of the causes, symptoms, and treatment options associated with Bacteraemia. The primary causes include infections in various parts of the body, medical procedures, and compromised immune systems. Symptoms range from fever and chills to more severe manifestations such as hypotension and confusion. Diagnosing Bacteraemia involves blood tests and imaging studies to identify the source of infection. Treatment primarily consists of targeted antibiotic therapy, with hospitalization sometimes necessary for severe cases. Prevention strategies focus on addressing underlying infections, maintaining good hygiene, and ensuring proper medical and dental procedures. This abstract emphasizes the importance of early detection and intervention in managing Bacteraemia for improved patient outcomes.
