Overview

Viremia is a medical condition where viruses enter the bloodstream. It is similar to bacteremia, a condition where bacteria enter the bloodstream.

Active viremia refers to the capability of the virus to replicate in blood.

Types

There are two types of viremia:

• Primary viremia, which is the initial spread of virus in the blood.

• Secondary viremia, where the primary viremia has resulted in infection of additional tissues, in which the virus has replicated and once more entered the circulation.
