Petechiae on the conjunctiva

Introduction Defects on the conjunctiva are one of the clinical manifestations of sepsis. The clinical onset of sepsis is acute, and the rash is in various forms such as sputum, urticaria, pustular rash and scarlet fever-like rash, and defects appear on the conjunctiva. Septicemia itself has no special clinical manifestations, and the performance seen in sepsis can also be seen in other acute infections, such as recurrent chills or even chills, high fever can be relaxation or intermittent, rash-based rash, Joint pain involving large joints, mild hepatosplenomegaly, severe cases may have changes in consciousness, myocarditis, septic shock, DIC, respiratory distress syndrome.

Differential diagnosis

Identification of confusing symptoms on the conjunctiva of the eye:

Because the majority of sepsis is secondary to various infections and lacks specific clinical manifestations, it is easy to cause missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. In order to improve the early diagnosis rate of sepsis, we must first improve the vigilance against sepsis, and timely check the suspicious cases. Therefore, there are fever, total white blood cell count and neutrophil elevation, and recent respiratory, digestive tract, urinary tract infection or burn, history of device operation and various focal infections have not been effectively controlled by antibacterial therapy. Both should be highly suspected of the possibility of sepsis. Positive blood culture bacteria is the most reliable basis for diagnosis of sepsis.

Septicemia itself has no special clinical manifestations, and the performance seen in sepsis can also be seen in other acute infections, such as recurrent chills or even chills, high fever can be relaxation or intermittent, rash-based rash, Joint pain involving large joints, mild hepatosplenomegaly, severe cases may have changes in consciousness, myocarditis, septic shock, DIC, respiratory distress syndrome.
