Sepsis tips
Fever and rigors = septicaemia. Cultures, antibiotics and admission are required. Don't attribute "aches and pains" to viral illness – sepsis causes the same symptoms. Thrombocytopenia in the febrile patient should always be considered to be due to sepsis. Lymphopenia is more commonly due to bacteraemia in febrile ED patients than viral illness. Don't underestimate … Read more
