10 Staph Infection Symptoms
9. Shortness of Breath
Dyspnea is the medical term used to describe sudden shortness of breath. It is characterized by having difficulty breathing which may or may not be associated with a feeling of tightness in the chest. Dyspnea is a non-specific symptom that can be associated with both respiratory and circulatory conditions. It is important to state that exercise-induced dyspnea is usually a normal and transitory state of air hunger which is not directly related to a disease, whereas, resting shortness of breath is usually a sign that something might be wrong.
S. Aureus is one of the many pathogens known to cause pneumonia. These bacteria can invade the respiratory tract causing the patient to develop a cough, fever, and eventually shortness of breath. Chest pain may appear as well in people with a respiratory tract infection.
