hypoglycemia/fever

OBJECTIVE To study cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone and C-reactive protein responses to specific stimuli in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). METHODS For the purpose of measuring cortisol, ACTH, and CRP responses to insulin induced hypoglycaemia during attack-free periods, 14 FMF patients, 11

A four year child presented with an episode of malignant hyperthermia induced by reexposure to halothane. The episode was associated with early onset of a severe hypoglycemia and liver enzymatic perturbances. Etiology of these perturbances is hard to state precisely in this clinical context, but a

Hyperthermia has recently been recognized as a manifestation of hypoglycemia. We describe two episodes of hypoglycemia associated with nausea, vomiting, chills, and impaired consciousness which were followed by marked hyperthermia. We suggest that the hyperthermia may result from excessive reaction

Sixteen sheep were divided into four groups and were given saline, Escherichia coli endotoxin at 35 micrograms/kg0.75, dipyrone at 88 mg/kg0.75, or endotoxin and dipyrone intravenously. Plasma glucose concentrations, rectal temperature and depression of central nervous function were assessed at

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to characterize seizures and epilepsy related to hypoglycaemia. METHODS We analyzed the files of 170 consecutive patients referred for hypoglycaemia (onset 1h to 4y) caused by inborn errors of metabolism (glycogen storage disease type I, fatty acid β-oxidation

A retrospective chart review of the case notes of all children aged 6 months to 8 years presenting with fever and seizures to the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) between January 2000 and December 2004 was conducted. Descriptive analyses were performed. Fifty-nine children (median age

A 1-year and 11-month-old female infant with bilateral lesions of the thalamus, basal ganglia, cerebellar and brainstem disease died from heart failure 9 days after being administered a measles vaccination. She had a high fever, hypocarnitinemic and non-ketotic hypoglycemia, serum levels of total

This study examined the effect of hyperthermia in late gestation on fetal thyroid structure. Mild heat stress (increase of ewe's rectal temperature to 40.4 degrees C) caused significant changes of fetal thyroid structure. Intra-follicular colloid area was significantly larger in the heat-stressed

We investigated seizures in 22 children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), eight of whom had seizures associated with fever. The follow-up period was 5-18 years. The onset of seizures ranged from 1 to 4 years of age, and the total number of seizures was one to three in all cases. Four cases
