Another word for septic

But when the hepatitis is of septic origin, suppuration is likely to occur, the result being an hepatic abscess.

It is inadvisable to explore for a suspected abscess with a hollow needle without first opening the abdomen, as septic fluid might thus be enabled to leak out, and infect the general peritoneal cavity.

When, for instance, the cause of septic infection had been revealed, the prophylaxis of the disease became a possibility.

But it undoubtedly prolongs life, lessens suffering, and by checking the growth of bacteria upon the cancer reduces the fetid odour and the symptoms of septic intoxication.

Untold hours of do-it-yourself-manship and emer­gency repair had finally overcome poor septic design and general­ly shoddy workmanship to create communities of adequate com­fort and living.
