- Fever
This page focuses on type II necrotizing fasciitis where group A strep is the cause… symptom icon Acute Rheumatic Fever A delayed sequela of pharyngitis due to group A strep, this disease is usually characterized by fever and affects multiple organ systems [cdc.gov]

Scarlet fever When a fine, diffuse, erythematous rash is present in the setting of acute streptococcal pharyngitis, the illness is called scarlet fever. The rash of scarlet fever is caused by the pyrogenic exotoxins (ie, SPE A, B, C, and F). [emedicine.medscape.com]
Scarlet fever (pink-red rash and fever) as well as impetigo (infection of the superficial layers of skin) and pneumonia are also caused by this bacterium (3, 6, 7, 10). [msdsonline.com]
- Swelling
Hives can also appear as general skin swelling that develops in one place on your body. This section of swelling may disappear and then appear somewhere else. Areas affected by hives will likely itch. [healthline.com]
This have a number of functions including releasing stored glucose from the liver (for energy) and controlling swelling after injury. The immune system is suppressed while this happens. [simplypsychology.org]
Wounds should be watched for possible signs of infection which include increasing redness, swelling and pain at the wound site. If these signs occur, especially in a person who also has a fever, consult a doctor immediately. [health.ny.gov]
Illnesses such as colds and ear infections can cause the membranes surrounding the eustachian tubes to swell. This may make pressure equalization more difficult, producing pain in the middle ear. [merckmanuals.com]
- Pallor
On examination, she had no pallor, icterus, or lymph node enlargement. There was mild tachycardia (108 bpm), respiratory, and cardiovascular examination was normal. [jmidlifehealth.org]
Diagnosis must be made and treatment started before pallor or pulselessness develops. [merckmanuals.com]
Gastrointestinal
- Nausea
You might also experience nausea, vomiting, or a stomachache. Muscular system Your muscles tense up to protect themselves from injury when you’re stressed. [stress.org]

- Flatulence
“The intestines can spasm when a person feels stress, and with that can come diarrhea, constipation, or flatulence — it’s different for every individual,” Bergquist says. [elemental.medium.com]
Frequent blushing, sweating Cold or sweaty hands, feet Dry mouth, problems swallowing Frequent colds, infections, herpes sores Rashes, itching, hives, “goose bumps” Unexplained or frequent “allergy” attacks Heartburn, stomach pain, nausea Excess belching, flatulence [stress.org]

Cardiovascular
- Hypotension
More common, more dangerous, and therefore clinically relevant, is hypertension. 6 Regulation of the blood pressure The blood pressure in the arteries may only alter within relatively narrow limits, since hypertension as well as hypotension can damage [flexikon.doccheck.com]
The most life-threatening complication of viridans streptococcal bacteremia is toxic shock-like syndrome resulting in hypotension, neurologic impairment, shock, and adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).[13] The incidence of toxic shock-like syndrome [medscape.com]
Although the majority of patients with neutropenia and viridans streptococcal bacteremia recover, a toxic shock–like syndrome (characterized by hypotension, rash, palmar desquamation, and acute respiratory distress syndrome [ARDS]) has been observed in [academic.oup.com]
Psychiatrical
- Loss of Libido
The physical effects of stress include: sweating pain in the back or chest cramps or muscle spasms erectile dysfunction and loss of libido fainting headache heart disease high blood pressure lower immunity against diseases muscular aches nervous twitches [medicalnewstoday.com]
Neurologic
- Headache
Stress headaches, also known as tension headaches, are due to tense muscles in the head, face, and neck. [healthline.com]

You may think illness is to blame for that irritating headache, your frequent insomnia or your decreased productivity at work. But stress may actually be the cause. [mayoclinic.org]
Tight muscles cause headaches, back and shoulder pain, and body aches. Over time, this can set off an unhealthy cycle as you stop exercising and turn to pain medication for relief. [stress.org]
Workup
While understandable to attribute new symptoms to pre-existing diagnoses such as PTSD, clinicians should consider the possibility of alternative diagnoses and perform the routine workup when indicated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The cyst was followed up by sonography which was not decreasing in size so planned for further workup and surgery. Her menstrual cycles were regular with the normal flow with no dysmenorrhea. [jmidlifehealth.org]
Once a careful workup and evaluation by a doctor to rule out medical causes of your symptoms and to assist in identifying stress-related or emotional conditions has occurred, there are several ways to relieve stress. [emedicinehealth.com]
Initial laboratory workup showed a normal CBC as well as basic blood chemistry, liver function tests, serum electrolytes, and urinalysis. Thyroid function tests revealed a TSH of <0.01 mIU/mL and a free T4 of 2.6 ng/dL. [hindawi.com]
Treatment
The ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3, two markers of apoptosis were upregulated by PA or cholesterol treatment. PA treatment was also associated with increased levels of angiotensinogen and angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) mRNA expression. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis
In lung cancer patients, low expression of miR-101 was associated with significantly poorer prognosis exclusively in p53 WT cases. miR-101 sensitized cancer cells to Pol I transcription inhibitors and strongly repressed xenograft growth in mice. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
T1 C+ (Gd): the solid portions may show enhancement 2 Treatment and prognosis Treatment is with surgical resection. The vast majority of struma ovarii tumors (90-95% 1,5) tend to be benign and therefore carry a good prognosis. [radiopaedia.org]
Prognosis of Stress (Anxiety) The prognosis for recovery from a stress-related illness is related to a wide variety of factors in a person’s life, many of which are genetically determined (race, sex, illnesses that run in families) or beyond the individual [healthengine.com.au]

RESULTS: Elevated extracellular potassium prevented the priming factor IL-1α from inducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It also prevented IL-1β release after exposure of primed cells to MG-132 and BafA. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
