Can you have sepsis or go septic from having a fissure?
Any open wound is subject to infection, and if untreated can lead to sepsis.
What is the mortality rate for MRSA sepsis?
good luck. septic shock, the most severe form of sepsis has a very high mortality rate, somewhere above 90%. MRSA sepsis may have a much lower rate, especially in its earlier stages. however, the outlook is not good.
What is the difference between aseptic and septic?

What is the difference between sepsis and septicemia?
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's response to an infection causes inflammation throughout the body. Septicemia, on the other hand, refers specifically to the presence of pathogenic organisms or their toxins in the bloodstream, leading to a systemic infection. Septicemia is a type of sepsis that involves the bloodstream.
What does the medical term septic mean?
It means poisoning of the body by infection (bacteria), as does septicemia and sepsis.
What are the causes of Sepsis in obstetrics and gynaecology?
The need for a guideline on the management of sepsis in pregnancy was identified by the 2007 Confidential Enquiry into Maternal Deaths. The scope of this guideline covers the recognition and management of serious bacterial illness in the antenatal and intrapartum periods, arising in the genital tract or elsewhere, and its management in secondary care. Sepsis arising due to viral, fungal or other infectious agents is outside the scope of this guideline. Bacterial sepsis following pregnancy in the puerperium is the subject of a separate Green-top Guideline. The population covered by this guideline includes pregnant women suspected of, or diagnosed with, serious bacterial sepsis in primary or secondary healthcare. Sepsis in pregnancy remains an important cause of maternal death in the UK. In 2003-2005 there were 13 direct deaths from genital tract sepsis in pregnancy, five related to pregnancy complications prior to 24 weeks of gestation and eight related to sepsis from 24 weeks of gestation, arising before or during labour. Sadly, substandard care was identified in many of the cases, in particular lack of recognition of the signs of sepsis and a lack of guidelines on the investigation and management of genital tract sepsis. Between 2006 and 2008 sepsis rose to be the leading cause of direct maternal deaths in the UK, with deaths due to group A streptococcal infection (GAS) rising to 13 women. Severe sepsis with acute organ dysfunction has a mortality rate of 20 to 40%, which increases to 60% if septic shock develops.1 Studies in the non-pregnant population have found that the survival rates following sepsis are related to early recognition and initiation of treatment. Sepsis may be defined as infection plus systemic manifestations of infection. Severe sepsis may be defined as sepsis plus sepsis-induced organ dysfunction or tissue hypoperfusion. Septic shock is defined as the persistence of hypoperfusion despite adequate fluid replacement therapy.
What is the difference between a sewer and a septic system?
A sewer is a common drain line that connects multiple lines or houses that the city maintains. Septic tank is for one house that in on that property and the owner maintains.

What does the term septic mean when applied to an embolus?
When the term "septic" is applied to an embolus, it usually indicates that the embolus is carrying an infection, typically bacterial, within the circulatory system. This can lead to the spread of infection to other parts of the body when the embolus lodges in a blood vessel. Septic emboli can be serious and may require immediate medical attention.
