Patient's question:
In the previous stage, my son went to the hospital for a check-up and was suspected of having sepsis. Is this disease leukemia?Doctor's answer:
These are two different diseases, so pediatric sepsis is not the same as leukemia. Sepsis is a systemic infection caused by pathogenic or opportunistic bacteria invading the bloodstream. Bacteria can multiply in the blood, causing systemic toxic symptoms. The pathogenic bacteria can travel through the bloodstream to various organs and tissues, causing migratory lesions. This condition is often caused by weakened resistance to bacteria, changes in normal immune function, or improper treatment of local lesions.
