Symptoms Of Septicemia

Diarrhea

Up to twenty percent of patients with septicemia have reported diarrhea. This is a symptom that might occur in the later stages of the disease. It is not clear precisely why this happens, but it might have something to do with the body trying to purge itself of infection. It may also be related to the infection causing damage to the digestive system, which then leads to the loose stools. Other common late symptoms of the infection are confusion and an inability to think in clear terms, red dots appearing on the skin, a reduced volume of urine, and overall inadequate blood flow.
