  • Hyperthermia

    Relative mRNA quantification using Taqman real-time PCR assay demonstrated higher expression of IL-1β, TNF-α and iNOS, and lower expression of Nrf2 in methamphetamine intoxication and hyperthermia cases, higher expression of iNOS in phenobarbital intoxication [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Paracetamol was allegedly being given to treat hyperthermia ( n 2). Benzodiazepines were detected in children who had received diazepam to stop seizures. Most of the children were hospitalized (88%), of whom 27 were in a resuscitation unit or ICU. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

    Intoxication at levels of 0.20% BAC and above presents risks of loss of consciousness, nausea and vomiting, injuries, and even overdose and death. [cms.bsu.edu]

  • Meningism

    For example, if there is fever, the physician might consider meningitis, pneumonia, or some other serious infection that might be causing a change of mental status. [emedicinehealth.com]
