Symptoms of STAPHYLOCOCCAL SEPTICEMIA
Septicemia from any source usually produces fever and chills. Shock may occur, either from the bacteria or from toxins that are released from the bacteria. This produces pallor, weakness, shortness of breath, sweating and rapid heart rate. Confusion and loss of consciousness may occur. The valves of the heart may become infected, producing chest pain or irregular heart beats. Excessive bleeding may occur.
