3Blood Poisoning
Septicemia, commonly known as blood poisoning, is more common in women than in men. This is a deadly condition that happens when your blood is infected with toxins or bacteria. Most cases are caused by an infection in some body parts like the pelvis, abdomen, urinary tract, or lung. Typical symptoms are rapid breathing, chills, spiking fever, rapid heart rate, and a change in mental conditions. When the infection spreads and worsens, patients can become very ill quickly. This leads to unexpected shocks that can be deadly. Therefore, immediate medical attention is needed to prevent further complications. [3]
