Septicemia Symptoms
What Are the Symptoms of Septicemia?
The following are the most common symptoms of septicemia. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently.
Patients with septicemia often develop a hemorrhagic rash, a cluster of tiny blood spots that look like pin pricks in the skin. If untreated, these gradually get bigger and begin to look like fresh bruises. These bruises then join together to form larger areas of purple skin damage and discoloration.
Septicemia develops very quickly. The patient rapidly becomes very ill, and may:
- Lose interest in food and surroundings.
- Become feverish.
- Feel cold, with cool hands and feet.
- Experience a coma and, sometimes, death.
Those who become ill more slowly may also develop some of the signs of meningitis. The symptoms of septicemia may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
