A member asked:
How to treat septicemia patient, what's the time frame of recovery.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Support and abx: Septicemia just means bacteria in the blood; the question really is why they are septicemic (endocarditis, abscess?) and what complications (organ failure, shock) are also present. The more complicated, the worse the time frame and overall prognosis.
