Hematocrit. The hematocrit (Ht or HCT, British English spelling haematocrit), also known as packed cell volume (PCV) or erythrocyte volume fraction (EVF), is the volume percentage (%) of red blood cells in blood. It is normally 45% for men and 40% for women.ecause the purpose of red blood cells is to transfer oxygen from the lungs to body tissues, a blood sample's hematocritâthe red blood cell volume percentageâcan become a point of reference of its capability of delivering oxygen.
The classic symptoms of a bacterial infection are localized redness, heat, swelling and pain. One of the hallmarks of a bacterial infection is local pain, pain that is in a specific part of the body. For example, if a cut occurs and is infected with bacteria, pain occurs at the site of the infection.
Other less common symptoms may include pain and sensitivity to light. Digestive tract: Bacterial infections, including those caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Escherichia coli (E. coli), can develop in the digestive tract if a patient consumes food or beverages that are contaminated with disease-causing bacteria.This type of infection is commonly known as food poisoning.ommon symptoms of urinary tract infections include strong urge to urinate, burning sensation when urinating, frequently passing small amounts of urine, blood in the urine, or cloudy, strong-smelling urine.
