pyaemia
Pyaemia (or pyemia) is a type of septicaemia that leads to widespread abscesses of a metastatic nature. It is usually caused by the staphylococcus bacteria by pus-forming organisms in the blood. Apart from the distinctive abscesses, pyaemia exhibits the same symptoms as other forms of septicaemia. It was almost universally fatal before the introduction of antibiotics.
Sir William Osler included a three-page discussion of pyaemia in his textbook ''The Principles and Practice of Medicine'', published in 1892. He defined pyaemia as follows:
Earlier still, Ignaz Semmelweis – who would later die of the disease – included a section titled "Childbed fever is a variety of pyaemia" in his treatise, ''The Etiology of Childbed Fever'' (1861). Jane Grey Swisshelm, in her autobiography titled ''Half a Century'', describes the treatment of pyaemia in 1862 during the American Civil War.
== Symptoms ==
The disease is characterized by intermittent high temperature with recurrent chills; metastatic processes in various parts of the body, especially in the lungs; septic pneumonia; empyema. It may be fatal.
