What are the Clinical Manifestations of Gram-Negative Infections?
Clinical manifestations of gram-negative bacterial infections can vary widely but often include symptoms such as fever, chills, and site-specific symptoms like urinary tract infections (dysuria, frequency), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea, abdominal pain), and respiratory tract infections (cough, shortness of breath). In severe cases, infections can lead to sepsis and septic shock, which are life-threatening conditions.
