Toxaemia
Toxaemia is literally the presence of toxins within the blood. It commonly causes a number of systemic symptoms including malaise, fever and vomiting.
It may occur with:
- septicaemia
- septic shock
- pre-eclampsia
- toxic shock syndrome
Pyaemia and septicaemia are both subtypes of toxaemia; bacteraemia is not necessarily associated with clinical toxaemia.
