10 Blood Infection Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Low Body Temperature
As already mentioned, a common symptom of a blood infection is a very high body temperature, this is commonly known as a fever. In some illnesses, though, patients can experience symptoms that are the complete opposite that others will encounter. Where a blood infection is concerned, low body temperature can be a symptom just as high body temperature can be.
Body temperature that is too low is potentially very serious. The patient should be kept as warm as possible and if their temperature is dangerously low, then they should be taken to an emergency room as soon as possible.
