CSS is present in 8.8% of patients with syncope unexplained after initial evaluation, cardiac syncope is present in 10% of all patients presenting syncope and in 5% of those unexplained after initial evaluation, thus CSS is more frequent than all types [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Chills
In addition, systemic signs of fever, chills, nausea, sweating, and loss of appetite are experienced in more severe infections. [footcaregroup.org]
Symptoms include Fever and chills Swollen glands or lymph nodes A rash with painful, red, tender skin. The skin may blister and scab over. [icdlist.com]
Among other potential symptoms, a person who has cellulitis might experience: Fever or sweating Tenderness or pain in the area that’s affected Redness or inflammation at the site of infection Chills or tremors A rash or sore spot on the skin that appears [healthmarkfootandankle.com]
If cellulitis is worsening or spreading from the foot up the leg, chills can occur with fever. In some cases, people with cellulitis have a fast heart rate, known as tachycardia, and feel lethargic. Headache and confusion may also occur. [livestrong.com]
If your child also has fever and chills, or if the area is on the child's face, you should go to the emergency room. [skinsight.com]
- Shivering
If you feel really unwell, with a high temperature (fever) and the shivers: this could be a sign the bacteria have spread into your bloodstream. [patient.info]

In more severe cases, cellulitis can also be accompanied – and often preceded – by: a high temperature (fever) of 38C (100.4F) or above vigorous shaking (rigors) nausea and vomiting dizziness confusion These are signs that the infection has spread deeper [nhsinform.scot]

Conditions or diseases that reduce the circulation of blood in the veins or that reduce circulation of the lymphatic fluid (such as venous insufficiency, obesity, pregnancy, or surgeries) also increase the risk of developing cellulitis. [medicinenet.com]

Prognosis
Prognosis Mostly, signs of cellulitis could be started to improve in 1 or 2 days since people begin using appropriate antibiotics to treat it. [vkool.com]
[11] Patients with CSH showing a reduction in blood pressure after an carotid sinus stimulation have a worse prognosis than those with a pure cardio-inhibitory response or a lack of vasodepressor response.[11] [patient.info]
The prognosis is generally good, but the condition can return, especially in people with poor circulation, chronic (long-term) swelling in the legs or skin that is in poor condition. [drugs.com]
Prognosis is generally good; however, the infection can quickly progress, and this can cause serious complications. Signs and Symptoms of Foot Cellulitis The most common signs of foot cellulitis are pain and swelling in the area. [ecellulitis.com]
Prognosis : Different people respond to antibiotics in different ways. When the disease spreads through the blood stream, the patient is caught by some sort of serious illness. Surgery may be required for treating some sorts of this disease. [diseasesdoctor.com]

The pathophysiological basis of action of the four phases of the maneuver is based on the nature of increased refractoriness of AV nodal tissue, particularly on the effect of vagal activity. [acls.com]
