Respiratory and blood infections encompass a range of illnesses affecting the respiratory tract and circulatory system. Respiratory infections include diseases like pneumonia, bronchitis, and influenza, often caused by viruses or bacteria transmitted via respiratory droplets. Symptoms include cough, fever, and difficulty breathing. Blood infections, such as sepsis and bacteremia, occur when pathogens enter the bloodstream, typically from infections elsewhere in the body. They can lead to severe systemic symptoms like high fever, chills, and organ dysfunction. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, imaging, and laboratory tests. Treatment includes antibiotics, antivirals, and supportive care tailored to the specific infection and its severity.
