what is the possibility of previous staph infection causing septic shock
hi I can understand your concern according to your statement you have been suffering from a feeling of heat exhaustion as you were more exposed to the sunlight and worried about staph infection that may cause septic shock you had a staph infection one month back and you took antibiotics for that so I think your previous staph infection was well eradicated by taking antibiotics even without treatment it can be eradicated within 10 20 days staph infection may cause life threatening condition like sepsis clinical features of sepsis are high fever with chills and rigors rapid pulse rate rapid breathing hypotension vomiting diarrhea etc when staph bacteria enters a person bloodstream and develop an infection that may affect the entire body and cause death is known as sepsis you are not mentioned here that you are affected by sepsis like clinical features and no history of having sepsis in the past so now you are free from staph infection and no chance of sepsis caused by staph infection I hope this helps
