Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/16/2018 -- Blood culture tests are done to detect the presence of microorganisms such as bacteria or fungi in the blood. It is used to determine the presence of infection, identify the causative agents and to guide the proper treatment required to a patient. Blood culture testing is used to identify a blood infection (also called septicemia) which if otherwise left undetected can lead to a serious and fatal condition called sepsis. The symptoms of an initial bacterial infection or bacteremia are moderate or high fever, chills, breathlessness, tachycardia, muscular pain, palpitations, nausea, and headache. The indications get serious with progression of infection and can lead to fatal sepsis symptoms which include dehydration, confusion, dizziness, mottled skin, and drop in blood pressure, inflammation, and organ failure. Although blood samples can be used for the detection of virus in the blood, blood culture is generally used to detect bacteria and fungi. Blood culture test is often done in conjunction with other diagnostic tests such as complete blood count (CBC) or other chemical analysis. A variety of technique such as conventional/manual, semi-automated and automated methods can be used to perform blood culture test.
The global Blood Culture Tests Market is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace owing to a multitude of factors. The rise in the global population is leading to increasing prevalence of various environmental borne and infectious diseases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) or infection caused by catheters end up in thousands of deaths each year and billions of dollars in added costs to the U.S. healthcare system. According to Global Health Observatory (GHO) data more than 400 million people suffer from bacterial meningitis epidemics in the 26 countries of the extended "African meningitis belt" only.
