Septicaemia (American spelling: septicemia) is when there are pathogenic bacteria actively living in the blood stream. The treatment is generally IV antibiotics, IV fluids and supportive care while the bacteria are destroyed. Septicaemia is a life-threatening condition and generally results in a person being very ill, so treatment is usually provided during a hospital stay.
