Complications
from:In some cases, bacteria from a boil can enter your bloodstream and travel to other
parts of your body. The spreading infection, commonly known as blood poisoning
(septicemia), can rapidly become life-threatening.
Initially, blood poisoning causes signs and symptoms such as chills, a spiking
fever, a rapid heart rate and a feeling of being extremely ill. But the condition
can quickly progress to shock, which is marked by falling blood pressure and body
temperature, confusion, clotting abnormalities and bleeding into the skin. Blood
poisoning is a medical emergency — untreated, it can be fatal.
Another serious problem is the rapid emergence of a drug resistant strain of
Staphylococcus aureus. Once mainly confined to hospitals, methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) now affects growing numbers of military recruits,
prison inmates, athletes — especially those involved in contact sports such as
wrestling — and even young children.
MRSA is highly contagious and spreads rapidly in crowded or unhygienic situations,
or where athletic equipment or towels are shared. Although it responds well to
several antibiotics, MRSA is resistant to penicillin. If treated with the wrong
medications, the infection can be fatal.
