10 Causes of Blood Infection (Septicemia)

Urinary Tract Infection

Urinary tract infection is also another major cause of blood infection. UTIs are usually caused by microbes, which are small and tiny organisms observed only through a microscope. Bacteria, fungi or certain viruses cause others. When these pathogens reproduce, they can reproduce and enter the bloodstream, thus causing Septicemia. UTIs affect the bladder, uterus, kidneys, and urethra. If any of these organs get infected with a UTI, then you find that the individual is at a higher risk of getting infected with Septicemia and it requires urgent treatment of the UTI before it causes blood poisoning.
