What are the signs and symptoms of the infection?
Most cases of this infection can cause:
fever

Other symptoms may occur if the infection spreads outside of the lungs,

vomiting can occur with a brain infection. Pain may occur if the infection gets
into the bones. Blood may be seen in the urine if the infection gets into the
kidneys.
