What Is Meningococcemia?
4. Early Symptoms
To begin with, patients with meningococcemia will show few symptoms. Any symptoms that do appear are usually only very mild to begin with and are likely to be passed off as another disease. When symptoms do show, they will typically include a fever and a headache.
Some patients with the condition will also develop a rash. The rash will typically consist of a lot of small spots on the patient’s skin. Patients suffering from meningococcemia will also sometimes experience anxiety, irritability, and nausea. While these conditions can be uncomfortable themselves, many patients will go on to develop even more unpleasant symptoms.
