Sepsis and scurvy are both common diseases, and they are essentially different. Sepsis is an infection caused by the invasion of pathogenic viruses and bacteria into human blood circulation, while scurvy is mainly caused by the lack of vitamins in patients. In addition, the symptoms of the two diseases are also very different. More attention should be paid to this aspect so that patients can prescribe the right medicine when they are sick.

The difference between two diseases:

1. Different reasons

Sepsis is mainly caused by bacteria. Pathogenic viruses and bacteria invade human blood circulation, grow and multiply rapidly in the blood, produce toxins, cause systemic infection and cause diseases. For scurvy, it is mainly due to the lack of vitamins in patients. Vitamin C is a reducing agent, which can be oxidized and reduced in human body. In addition, it also interacts with phenylalanine. It is closely related to tyrosine metabolism. At the same time, vitamin C can protect folate reductase. The existence of this enzyme can convert folic acid into folinic acid, thus promoting the release of folic acid conjugate in food. Free folic acid and vitamin C can greatly promote the absorption of iron, so if the body lacks vitamin C, it will cause scurvy.

2. Different symptoms

For patients with sepsis, skin symptoms such as rash, urticaria and impetigo may appear. In addition, petechiae may also appear on the conjunctiva. Severe cases can also cause infiltration, abscess, pleurisy, etc., and may also affect heart function. Damage can cause heart failure, shock, etc. For scurvy, it can cause symptoms such as gingival bleeding, fatigue, loss of appetite, indigestion and severe swelling of joints.

The symptoms of these two diseases are:

Subsepsis is a disease with unknown etiology, with long-term intermittent fever, transient polymorphic rash, arthritis or joint pain, sore throat as the main clinical manifestations, accompanied by an increase in the total number of white blood cells and granulocytes in peripheral blood and abnormal liver function. Clinical syndrome, such as systemic involvement. Sepsis is a fever, rash and other symptoms caused by bacteria entering the blood when infection is serious. Their symptoms are similar, but their pathogenesis is different.

Patients with septicemia will have repeated chills or even chills, and have clinical symptoms of high fever. Patients may also have petechial rash, hepatosplenomegaly and joint pain. Severe patients will have mental changes, myocarditis, septic shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation, respiratory distress syndrome and other symptoms. Patients with toxemia will have many clinical manifestations. Common clinical symptoms include myocarditis, soft palate paralysis, hoarseness and adrenal dysfunction.
