History and Symptoms
Symptoms
Symptoms of sepsis are often related to the underlying infectious process. When the infection crosses into the bloodstream the resulting symptoms of sepsis occur:
- Fever
- A capillary leak syndrome can develop with severe swelling, edema, and third spacing of fluids.
- General symptoms can include flu like symptoms as well as shaking chills or rigors.
- If the respiratory system is the primary source for sepsis then sore throat, productive cough, and pleuritic chest pain may be present.
