What are the symptoms of B. cereus infection in immunosuppressed individuals?
B. cereus infection can cause a range of symptoms in immunosuppressed individuals, including fever, chills, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nausea/vomiting. In severe cases, it can lead to sepsis, respiratory distress, and even death.
