A member asked:
Please help docs! is septicemia the same thing as the septicemic plague?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Word games: Septicemia is just a term used to describe the presence of germs in the circulating blood. This often triggers a cascade of physical and metabolic events that can vary with the type of germ.Septicemic plague just means the plague germ is circulating in the blood rather than being confined to one place like the lungs.
