For staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome, the diagnosis is based strictly upon CDC criteria defined in 2011, as follows: 1  Body temperature > 38.9 Â°C (102.02 Â°F) 2  Systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg. 3  Diffuse macular erythroderma.  Desquamation (especially of the palms and soles) 1â2 weeks after onset.
Symptoms usually appear 1 to 3 days after exposure. Influenza symptoms can include a sudden onset of fever, headache, chills, cough, sore throat, and body aches. Diarrhea is not common.
Mono needs to run its course naturally. Symptoms may last 2 to 4 weeks, and some people feel tired for several weeks longer (that's why it's important to take care of yourself and get lots of rest). Doctors and researchers aren't exactly sure how long people with mono stay contagious after symptoms are gone. They believe that people can spread the infection for many months after their symptoms are completely gone â some studies show as long as 18 months.
