| septic bursitis | A bursa is a closed fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. When the bursa becomes inflamed, the condition is known as bursitis. When the bursa is infected with bacteria, the condition is called septic bursitis. (12 Dec 1998) |

| septic endocarditis | Acute bacterial endocarditis, usually secondary to suppuration elsewhere and running a fulminating course. Synonym: septic endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septic fever | Systemic disease associated with the presence and persistence of pathogenic microorganisms or their toxins in the blood. Synonym: blood poisoning. See: bacteraemia. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (11 Jan 1998) |
| septic infarct | An area of necrosis resulting from vascular obstruction due to emboli comprised of clumps of bacteria or infected material. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septic intoxication | Systemic disease associated with the presence and persistence of pathogenic microorganisms or their toxins in the blood. Synonym: blood poisoning. See: bacteraemia. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (11 Jan 1998) |

| septic shock | <microbiology> Condition of clinical shock caused by endotoxin in the blood. A serious complication of severe burns and abdominal wounds, frequently fatal. Part of the problem seems to be due to increased leucocyte adhesiveness, which leads to massive sequestration of neutrophils in the lung, increased vascular permeability and acute respiratory distress syndrome. (11 Jan 1998) |
| septic wound | A wound that has become infected. (05 Mar 2000) |
| shock, septic | Shock due to circulatory insufficiency caused most commonly by gram-negative bacteraemia. It is less often the result of the persistent presence of other micro-organisms in the blood (fungaemia, viraemia); in rare instances, it is caused by gram-positive organisms, but with different symptomatology.
