How to diagnose and treat sepsis infection?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Sepsis is a severe form of infection, and early diagnosis definitely helps and saves a patient's life. In sepsis, sometimes the patient goes into shock as well if not managed properly.

I suggest you do the following tests:

1. CBC (complete blood count).

2. LFT (liver function test).

3. KFT (kidney function test).

4. CRP (C-reactive protein).

5. Serum electrolytes.

Usually, we can monitor through CBC; if WBC (white blood cell) counts are very high, it means patients can go into sepsis and coma.

Other parameters are blood pressure and oxygen levels in the body. If the patient's BP (blood pressure) is falling or SpO₂ (oxygen saturation) is falling, this could be a sign of sepsis.

In management, higher antibiotics are given through an IV (intravenous) line, and proper fluid management is required. Monitor urine output as well.

I need the following information:

• How old are you? What is the body weight?

• Why are you suspecting sepsis?

• What symptoms do you have?

Please let me know so that I can prescribe you medicine accordingly.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
