tachypnea/fever

OBJECTIVE Determine whether tachypnea and subcostal retractions can be efficient predictors for the diagnosis of Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) among children. METHODS These were the databases used: PubMed, LILACS, The African Journal Database and The Cochrane Central Library. Original studies

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) usually is triggered during or after administration of commonly used general anesthetics, and it can result in death if left untreated. The only definitive diagnostic test for MH is the caffeine halothane contracture test. A new molecular genetic diagnostic blood test may

In 4 spontaneously breathing, barbiturate-anesthetized dogs, hyperthermia was induced with 2,4-dinitrophenol while rectal temperature, heart rate, mean blood pressure, end-tidal carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide production (milliliters per minute) were measured continuously. The latter was

UNASSIGNED This retrospective study describes the signalment, clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, and mode of inheritance in four young male English springer spaniel dogs with presumptive canine stress syndrome. UNASSIGNED Appropriate cases were located through medical searches of medical

The patient was a 5-week-old male admitted with tachypnea and increased respiratory: distress. Mother noted increased cough and increased work of breathing. There was no fever, congestion, or nasal discharge. Prior to presenting to the emergency room, he was given a bronchodilator nebulizer

A study of the pathogenesis of bovine ephemeral fever confirmed that the major clinical signs were fever lasting no more than 2 days, with increased respiratory rate, dyspnoea and some degree of lameness. Haematological observations revealed a neutrophilia with a left shift and a lymphopaenia at the

Background: The yellow fever (YF) vaccination is recommended by the WHO for people traveling or living in endemic areas at risk for yellow fever infections in Africa and South America. Although the live attenuated yellow fever vaccine is

To determine predictors of serious bacterial infections in pediatric burn patients with fever (core temp ≥38.5°C), the authors conducted a retrospective review of medical records of pediatric (0-18 years) patients admitted to the Arizona Burn Center between 2008 and 2011 with greater than 5% TBSA

Between October, 1985, and February, 1987, 28 (8.7%) cases of scrub and murine typhus were diagnosed among 320 children with greater than or equal to 1 week history of obscure fever. Scrub typhus is a rural disease and characterized by fever, tachypnea and hepatosplenomegaly. Skin rash was rare and

Fever suggests the likelihood of severe microbial infection. Abnormal temperature, tachycardia, tachypnea, and abnormal white blood cell counts define the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). In 300 hospitalized medical patients with fever, we determined clinical variables and

The clinical course of a neonate who presented with fever and tachypnea on day 6 of life is described. He developed disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, hepatic failure, coma and expired at 14 days of age. The post mortem viral cultures from liver, adrenal and lungs were positive for HSV type 2.

A 19 year old boy presented to the emergency room with fever of one week duration along with bleeding manifestations, few gastrointestinal symptoms, tachycardia, tachypnea and subtle encephalitic features. He was worked up for the usual causes of short duration fever, which proved inconclusive. In

Fifty consecutive patients with fever and cirrhosis were prospectively studied to assess if cirrhotic fever was a true clinical entity and to determine its characteristics and outcome. In 20% (10) of the 50 patients, an identifiable source of fever or infection, was not documented (these patients
