BACTEREMIA DIAGNOSIS |
|
|
|
Bacteremia is diagnosed by culturing the
blood for bacteria. Samples may need to be tested several times over
several hours. Blood analysis may also reveal an elevated number of
white blood cells. Blood pressure is monitored closely; a decline in
blood pressure may indicate the onset of septic shock. |
