3. What Are the Symptoms of a Klebsiella Pneumoniae Infection?
As with most bacterial infections, Klebsiella can cause a high fever, chills and associated pain. Lethargy, nausea and vomiting are also quite common. Other symptoms vary widely depending on what part of the body is impacted by infection.
Patients diagnosed with pneumonia will likely experience a cough, chest pains and shortness of breath. Those with urinary tract infections may notice an increased urgency to urinate, burning pain while urinating and lower back or abdominal pain. Skin infections may result in discharge, pain and swelling at the infection site.
