Background: Lassa fever is a zoonotic viral infection endemic to the West Africa countries. It is highly fatal during pregnancy and as such reports of neonatal onset Lassa fever infections are rare in scientific literature. We report a
Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a disease caused by the Gram-negative coccobacillus Rickettsia ricketsii which has been on the rise since the last decade in the USA. The symptoms are common to the many viral diseases, and the classic triad of fever, rash and headache is not always present
OBJECTIVE
To assess the possibility to differentiate clinically intraoperative malignant hyperthermia (MH) and sepsis.
METHODS
Comparative retrospective study of clinical cases.
METHODS
Sixteen patients operated on for acute appendicitis and developing clinical signs of MH confirmed or not by in
OBJECTIVE
Premature infants can experience cardiorespiratory events such as apnea after immunization in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). These changes in clinical status may precipitate sepsis evaluations. This study evaluated whether sepsis evaluations are increased after immunizations in
Domestic pig herds in some regions of Germany are permanently threatened by Classical Swine Fever. In the case of suspicion, a series of infectious and non infectious causes has to be excluded. The present paper describes a case of Escherichia coli septicaemia, with clinical and pathological
This case report describes an invasive meningococcal group B infection followed by the development of Kawasaki disease (KD) complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) in a 2-year-old child. The presented case indicates the possible etiologic relationship between meningococcal sepsis and KD
OBJECTIVE
In a prior uncontrolled study, 23% of children with fever and petechiae without bacteremia or sepsis had a prolonged partial thromboplastin time (PTT). We attempted to validate this finding by comparing the PTTs of children with fever and petechiae who were neither septic nor bacteremic
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction with non-specific clinical features that can mimic other clinical conditions with hyper metabolic state such as malignant hyperthermia. Perioperatively anesthesia providers come across such scenarios, which are extremely challenging with The pathophysiology of fever in sepsis/Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) is outlined. The three phases of fever are explored using a patient case study. The conclusion recommends further research is needed on the nursing management of critically ill patients with a fever.
Fever during acute rehabilitation in patients with a spinal cord injury is a common problem. Infection, typically of the urinary or respiratory tract, is the most frequent cause of fever in these circumstances. We report a case of Brucella sepsis as a cause of fever in a patient with a spinal cord
In critically ill patients fever is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality rate. However, it remains unclear whether fever is an associated symptom of the underlying severe disease or a stimulator of specific pathophysiological cascades considered responsible for a deleterious outcome.
Serum interleukin (IL)-6 levels measured by ELISA were correlated with the clinical course of 53 adults with hematologic malignancies in 95 episodes of chemotherapy-induced leukocytopenia (< 1000/microL). The median IL-6 level was 15 pg/mL (range, < 3-123) in 27 episodes without fever. This level
Fever is a daily concern in the intensive care unit. Although about half of all febrile cases are due to non-infectious causes, fear of sepsis frequently leads to diagnostic tests and escalation of therapy, including broadening antibiotic therapy. Using a case to illustrate this dilemma, we discuss
The treatment of Staphylococcus aureus septicaemia continues to be an important clinical challenge. Spikes of fever during antibiotic therapy complicate assessment of the response. In an attempt to analyse response to treatment in terms of resolution of fever we have retrospectively studied 17
OBJECTIVE
Numerous studies have found an association between epidural analgesia for labor and maternal fever (temperature > or =38 degrees C). Maternal fever often results in treatment with maternal or neonatal antibiotics, neonatal sepsis evaluation, and increased costs.
METHODS
Medline was used to
