Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Complicated soft tissue bacterial infections often present with pain due to inflammation and tissue damage, fever as a systemic response to infection, tachycardia as a compensatory mechanism to fever and infection, and low blood pressure due to potential sepsis or systemic infection response. Muscle atrophy is not typically a direct acute symptom of bacterial infections but can occur over time due to disuse or severe chronic infection.
