Presentation
Finally, divisional progress reports were presented monthly at physician faculty meetings. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
In this article, we present a case of dramatic improvement of central fever with recombinant human GH therapy in a patient with posttraumatic GH deficiency. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Controversy exists regarding the value of peripheral cultures in addition to central catheter cultures if a central catheter is present. [curbsideup.com]
Entire Body System
- Fever
To report a case of central fever associated with severe myalgia following esomeprazole. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Introduction: Fever worsens outcomes in patients with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Fever can be infectious or non-infectious (central) in etiology. [stroke.ahajournals.org]
- Hunting
Through Saturday, the alliance will be purchasing lures to facilitate Poke-hunts through the downtown to encourage further foot traffic, particularly around lunch and dinner times, to also help encourage patrons to Restaurant Week. [mycentraljersey.com]
Workup
Extensive fever workups were done. The repeated blood and cerebral spinal fluid cultures were all negative for bacterial growth. The chest X-ray was normal and the urinalysis was also normal. [kjim.org]
Often times the etiology is not obvious and workup involves cultures, skin biopsy, serologies, etc. [errolozdalga.com]
Microbiology
- Complement Fixing Antibody
Yellow fever complement-fixing antibody in high titers was found in 18 of 1,201 (1.4%) persons living in eight counties of the affected area. [ajtmh.org]
Treatment
To the best of our knowledge, central fever that developed due to GH deficiency and improved with GH treatment has not yet been reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

After a brain injury, raised temperaturemay be due to a regulated readjustment in thehypothalamic ‘set-point’ in response to inflammation.The purpose of this report is to mention possibleimplications related to temperature and homeostasisof morphine treatment [platform.almanhal.com]
Prognosis
The prognosis was grave, nearly 70% of the patients expired within 1 month, especially those with a temperature of >41 degrees C or those who reached 39 degrees C within 6 h after onset of stroke, or those who had severe fluctuations in temperature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Currently therapy for these patients is limited, and thus the prognosis for aSAH is dismal. [grantome.com]
Fever is also associated with poor prognosis in patients with stroke and brain injury. Management of a patient with fever requires both the investigation of the cause as well as lowering of the temperature; various measures are described. [medlink.com]
In Strep TSS, bacteremia is much more common than in Staph TSS (~60% vs 5%), and prognosis is much much worse (>50% mortality vs ~5%). [errolozdalga.com]
Etiology
The authors define an unexplained fever as a fever which lasts a minimum of 14 days and whose etiology is not known. [books.google.de]
Fever can be infectious or non-infectious (central) in etiology. Previous literature suggests 32% of patients with ICH and 31% of ischemic stroke patients have noninfectious fever. [stroke.ahajournals.org]
CF was identified in 30 patients (32%), infectious etiology was found in 9 patients (9%) and the remaining patients did not develop fever. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Aim: To present the difficulties of etiologic diagnosis and treatment of a persistent febrile syndrome in a patient with surgically removed craniopharyngioma. [endocrine-abstracts.org]
Epidemiology
The epidemiology team is in the field to investigate the source of the outbreak and conduct contact tracing. Join homeschoolers from across the country on family and student homeschool adventures with the National Home School Association. [outbreaknewstoday.com]

Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology, clinical features, and management of this uncommon cause of fever are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This book covers pathophysiology of fever, the general approach to the febrile patient, and offers a systematic, in-depth discussion regarding the differential diagnosis of unexplained fever. [books.google.de]
Pathophysiology, it is due to damage to the hypothalamus or contact of this structure to blood 0r pus (this can be reproduced in animals). [jneuro.wordpress.com]
To develop novel Neuro-therapeutics for aSAH patients, the molecular mechanisms that lead to both fever and vasospasm need to be thoroughly understood to produce a complete picture of the pathophysiology of aSAH. [grantome.com]
Prevention
Pretreatment with propranolol (10mg/kg s.c) significantly inhibited the rise in VO 2, and prevented the increase in body temperature. [bioscirep.org]
