10 Sepsis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
6. Severe Pain
Depending on the source of the sepsis, patients may feel acute pain in their abdomen, which can indicate an abdominal infection, including the kidneys, appendix, intestines, urinary tract, or bowels. For cases caused by Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), chest pain is typical.
If the source of the infection is in the central nervous system (CNS), patients might complain about intense headaches. Skin and soft tissue infections might also cause pain to appear in the affected region.
