bacteremia
Bacteremia - the presence of bacteria in the blood. Penetration of the pathogen in the blood is observed in many infectious diseases is mandatory or optional component of their development. The number of microorganisms per unit blood volume depends on the virulence of the pathogen resistance and the patient. During prolonged and severe bacteremia usually formed generalized and, in particular, forms of septic infection.
When transmissible infections bacteremia is the basis of the mechanism of transfer of pathogens by blood-sucking arthropods. In these difficult occurring diseases like leukemia , radiation and burn injury, in a number of infectious diseases sometimes for no apparent reason with a decrease in the natural body's defenses may develop nonspecific bacteremia due to opportunistic pathogens - representatives of the intestinal microflora of the skin and mucous membranes. This bacteraemia is a pathogenetic basis for the development of endogenous infection (self-infection) up to sepsis.
To identify the most important bacteremia bacteriological examination, less blood bacterioscopy (for example, leptospirosis, relapsing fever). In a number of diseases (for example, plague, anthrax), the introduction of the patient's blood using laboratory animals and subsequent isolation of these microorganisms.
