Patient's question:
I have been feeling very weak recently. I want to ask the doctor, specifically, if I suspect sepsis, what kind of thorough examination should I undergo at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of sepsis is caused by bacterial infection, which is triggered by the penetration of bacteria into the bloodstream. Once sepsis is suspected, it is necessary to promptly conduct blood bacterial culture tests based on the specific situation to confirm the diagnosis. The main symptoms of sepsis generally include recurrent high fever, chills, and skin/mucosal bleeding. If only general weakness occurs without the above symptoms, it is usually not indicative of sepsis.
