Streptococcus pneumoniae sepsis

It can be secondary to Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia, otitis media, mastoiditis, and pharyngitis. Most of the pathogens are human blood from the lungs through the thoracic duct through the draining lymphatic pathway. In otitis media and mastoiditis, Streptococcus pneumoniae can enter the blood through the sinus. 20% to 30% of patients with Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia are positive for blood culture, and the positive rate increases with age. Streptococcus pneumoniae is more likely to cause. Splenectomy is more common in patients, which may be related to the powerful phagocytosis of the spleen monocyte-phagocytic system and the function of killing capsular pneumococcus. Streptococcus pneumoniae sepsis is prone to other severe diseases such as sickle cell anemia and patients with low immune function.
