Bloodstream infection is a severe and life-threatening condition characterized by the presence of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi, in the bloodstream. It is a global health concern and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in hospital settings. Bloodstream infections can arise from various sources, including infected wounds, surgical sites, urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, or through the use of invasive medical devices like central venous catheters. Bloodstream infections can manifest with a wide range of symptoms, which can vary depending on the underlying cause and severity of the infection.
