*So-called septicemia is a diagnosis that is no longer used. It always was a vague and nonspecific term used variously to mean: severe infection, bacteremia, sepsis, severe sepsis, septic shock, etc.

*Since the 1991 International Consensus Conference defined the specific entities of Sepsis, [[Severe sepsis]] and [[Shock, septic]] (which in 2018 in the SEPSIS-3 definition is reduced to just the latter two), we no longer should use the term septicemia.
