Medical Forum / General / General / February 2006sepsis?!?!
I have had a urinary tract infection for over a month. It didn't respond to Cipro. Tonight, I noticed I have a pink blotchy rash on my left knuckles. Also small 1 or 2 pink blotches on left wrist and arm. I am paranoid about sepsis! WHat does sepsis rash look like? Could this be allergic reaction to Cipro? Blotches do not itch. I do not have fever or other signs of sepsis, but have had chills off and on last week or so. dr. said don't worry about chills if no fever. > I have had a urinary tract infection for over a month.

Are you still on ciprofloxacine? What's the dose? 1000 mg / day? If yes, a sepsis IMHO is rather implausible. > Are you still on ciprofloxacine? What's the dose? 1000 mg / day?

Dr. wanted me off it for 2 days so we could do another urine culture, which I am doing today. Am hoping test will help him pick RIGHT antibiotic that will work. Longer I go w/out treating this, more nervous I get it will be harder to treat. Rash is gone today but I still wonder what to look for on the skin as sign of sepsis. > Rash is gone today but I still wonder what to look for on the skin as > sign of sepsis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepsis#Symptoms |
