Is Septicemia Contagious? Transmission of Septicemia from Person
to Person Septicemia is considered an infectious disease that is
contagious between people under rare circumstances. Generally,
the disease can be transmitted under rare circumstances such as
immunocompromised people, or during surgery with contaminated
surgical tools, or according to "rare circumstances" as noted
from reputable internet sources. Septicemia, although
infectious, is not a genetic disease. It is not caused by a
defective or abnormal gene. About contagion and contagiousness:
Contagion and contagiousness refers to how easily the spread of
Septicemia is possible from one person to another. Other words
for contagion include "infection", "infectiousness",
"transmission" or "transmissability". Contagiousness has nothing
to do with genetics or inheriting diseases from parents. For an
overview of contagion, see Introduction to Contagion. » Next
