Over
many
years
,
the
terms
sepsis
and
septicemia
have
referred
____________________
several
ill
-
defined
clinical
conditions
present
in
a
patient
with
bacteremia
.
Definitions
have
not
____________________
greatly
since
1914
,
when
Schottmueller
wrote
,
?
Septicemia
is
a
____________________
of
microbial
invasion
from
a
portal
of
entry
____________________
the
blood
stream
which
causes

of
illness
.
?
In
practice
,
these
2
terms
have
often
been
used
____________________
;
however
,
only
about
half
of
patients
with
signs
and
____________________
of
sepsis
have
positive
results
on
blood
culture
.
Furthermore
,
not
all
patients
____________________
bacteremia
have
signs
of
____________________
.
It
follows
,
therefore
,
that
sepsis
and
septicemia
are
not
in
fact
identical
.
