What kind of infection caused a low temperature?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Any infection: Some individuals do not mound a good immune response to infections so they do not get a rise in temperature. It is just as concerning to start getting a low temperature with chills. In the hospital nurses start warm IVs to return the temperature. As you die the temperature falls. See a doctor to get treatment before it becomes life threatening.
