Infections Often Occurring In End Life

Bladder infections and cellulitis in lower legs can accompany end-of-life.

Both of these infections can cause problems in end of life.  Bladder infections can cause mental confusion and fatigue.  Cellulitis -- often in the lower legs when edema (accumulation of fluids in parts of body) occurs -- is a concern and needs medical attention.  It is characterized by swelling and redness, when it is in the lower extremities.
