Abstract
Septicemia, also known as sepsis, is a life-threatening medical condition characterized by a systemic inflammatory response to an infection that has spread throughout the body. This abstract provides an overview of septicemia, including its causes, symptoms, and recent advances in diagnosis and treatment. Septicemia typically arises from bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, often originating in the lungs, urinary tract, abdomen, or other parts of the body. The infection triggers an overwhelming immune response that can lead to widespread inflammation and tissue damage.
