Or the immune system exhausts itself fighting the infection...

Why reach for complicated, synthetic explanations when the simple one is right in front of you?

That's also a possibility, for chronic illnesses. But ultimately I don't think its acute exhaustion, my hypothesis would be that during the inflammatory reaction the body incorrectly identifies unrelated proteins as being part of the pathogen and some of those proteins/genetic fragments are part of the body itself. Aka friendly fire.

Its like you are found at a crime scene with the criminals so the police arrest everyone including you because you were there.
