Abstract

In Pakistan infections, including septicemia and pneumonia, are the leading causes of hospital mortality, followed by malignancy and cardiovascular causes. Objectives: To find the frequency of septicemia in patients due to bed sores in Mayo Hospital Lahore. Methods: A cross-sectional research was carried out, and 101 septicemia-diagnosed patients from Mayo Hospital Lahore's different wards were included. The septicemia caused by bed ulcers was assessed. Hematological profile of patients were assessed. Results: Septicemia due to bed sores was seen in 18 patients out of which 9 were males and 9 were females. Bilirubin was low in males and females. Blood glucose was high in 6/9 males and normal in 5/9 females. Blood urea was high in majority of males and females. Conclusions: Septicemia due to bed sores was seen in patients. WBC, ALP and blood urea was high due to septicemia cause by bed sores. Platelets, ALT and AST were normal
