Blood poisoning or sepsis involving blood-borne infection throughout the body.
From Greek haima (blood) + sepsis (putrefaction or poisoning). This term emerged in medical literature to describe systemic infections caused by pathogenic microorganisms in the blood.
Before antibiotics, blood poisoning from even small wounds was often fatal, so 'hematosepsis' was a death sentence—now doctors catch it early, making it one of medicine's great victories despite the scary name.
