• Confusion

  Sepsis eventually may begin to affect organ function, causing symptoms of mental confusion or impaired kidney function. Sepsis can lead to septic shock, which often causes death. [wisegeekhealth.com]

  Early signs of sepsis include: fever, shivering, or feeling cold fast heart rate fast breathing and shortness of breath sweaty or clammy skin changes in mental state, such as feeling sleepy, confused, or losing interest If medical attention is not accessed [medicalnewstoday.com]

  The first sign of shock is often confusion and decreased consciousness. In this beginning stage, the extremities are usually warm. Later, they become cool, pale, and bluish. Fever may give way to lower than normal temperatures later on in sepsis. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

  However, bacteremia means the presence of bacteria in the blood; this can occur without any of the criteria listed above and should not be confused with sepsis. [medicinenet.com]
