What Are The Symptoms Of Sepsis?

High Fever Or Low Body Temperature

Sepsis patients also appear to have a high fever or low body temperature as a sign of their condition. They seem to be part of the body's attempt to try stopping the infection from spreading further. The body temperature change may also set in due to the rapid breathing or high heart rate, mentioned previously. If the patient's fever becomes too high, or they experience hypothermia, it may trigger septic shock.

Both the low body temperature and high fever appear to compromise a patient's blood flow. This may mean that vital organs cannot get the blood they need to work properly, which appears to trigger organ failure. These two symptoms also seem to cause blood vessel damage, which may result in immunity issues.
