Environ de 24 à 48 heures après l'apparition des symptômes, la pression artérielle d'une personne infectée peut chuter et les symptômes évoluer vers une septicémie avec hypotension (pression artérielle basse), tachycardie (rythme cardiaque plus rapide que la normale), tachypnée (respiration rapide) et une défaillance d'organe. 4, record 1, French, - syndrome%20de%20choc%20toxique%20streptococcique
