Overview

Patients typically develop symptoms including high fevers, shaking, chills, fatigue, headaches, vomiting, and general illness within 48 hours of the initial infection. The erythematous skin lesion develops which enlarges rapidly. More severe infections can result in vesicles,bullae, and petechiae, with possible skin necrosis.
