Getting To Know Blood Flow Infections, The Cause Of The Thai Queen's Death

JAKARTA - Sad news came from Thailand. Mrs. Suri Thailand, Queen Sirikit, died at the age of 93 on Friday, October 24, 2025. Queen Sirikit died of a blood flow infection.

The palace said that Queen Sirikit had been hospitalized since 2019 due to various illnesses. Then on October 17, Queen Sirikit was infected with blood until she finally died on October 24.

"His Majesty's condition worsened until Friday and he died at 9.21 pm, at the Chulalongkorn Hospital at the age of 93 years," a statement from the Thai palace, quoted from Aljazeera, on Saturday, October 25, 2025.

Meanwhile, quoted from the Cleveland Clinic, blood flow infection is a serious health condition. This condition occurs where bacteria, fungi, or other pathogens enter and spread into the bloodstream, which can cause sepsis (infection to spread throughout the body).

When a person is infected, the immune system tries to fight the infection. However, the immune system sometimes stops fighting the cause of infection and instead begins to damage the body's tissue and normal organs, which cause widespread inflammation throughout the body.

At the same time, abnormal reactions to blood clotting systems can cause the formation of blood clots in blood vessels. This can blood flow to various organs of the body and can cause serious damage, which can lead to death.

There are several symptoms that occur in the body of a person who has a blood flow infection, as follows.

- Fever

- Milling or cold

- Weakness or weakness

- Pain

- Overdrought, especially at night

- Darha pressure is decreasing

- Spots blue or purplish on the skin

Blood flow infections can occur in anyone. However, the most vulnerable groups are those with weakened immune systems, chronic diseases (such as diabetes and cancer), the elderly, infants, and individuals undergoing invasive medical procedures such as surgery, use of catheters, or ventilators.

In treating this health problem, doctors will usually give antibiotics to fight infection. In severe cases, surgery may be needed to remove or replace infected blood vessels.
