Is a blood infection bad?
Yes, it is since the infection is in the entire body and it is called sepsis. It does depend on the bacteria or virus that is involved but still can be deadly. There are a lot of different microbes which can cause sepsis. Bacteria is the leading cause of sepsis but fungi and virus can also cause it. Infections in the kidneys and bladder (UTI), lungs (pneumonia), skin (cellulitis), appendicitis, meningitis and others can lead to sepsis. Infections developed after surgery may also cause sepsis. Bacterial infection is a medical emergency. A person having sepsis should be treated in the hospital specifically in the intensive care unit.
Should someone just released from hospital with sepsis cook others food?
Sepsis can be caused by many things. It has to do with a severe infection entering the blood stream. It can be from something as simple as a bad tooth. Sepsis itself is not contagious. The cause of the initial infection should be the concern. If there is a reason to believe that the person is contagious, the hospital should instruct them before they are discharged. The other consideration for "should they" is that if they just went through sepsis, they are probably doing a lot of healing, not feeling so great, and pretty weak. Someone "should" be cooking for them and letting them rest if at all possible.
What is the medication for severe sepsis?
