Patterns of Fever01:26

Patterns of Fever

4.2K
Before understanding the types and patterns of fever, it is essential to know its phases.

Types of Fever01:25

Types of Fever

1.4K
Fever can be triggered by several factors, including infections, nervous system disorders, certain cancers, blood diseases like leukemia, embolism, thrombosis, heatstroke, dehydration, surgical trauma, crushing injuries, and allergic reactions.
Here are the different types of fever:

Increased Body Temperature01:25

Increased Body Temperature

7.6K
A body temperature above  38°C  (100.4 °F) is known as fever or pyrexia, and a person with fever is termed 'febrile.' Typically, the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that acts as the body's thermostat, regulates body temperature through a thermoregulatory setpoint. It receives signals from cold and warm thermal receptors throughout the body and adjusts the body's temperature accordingly. Fever occurs when this hypothalamic setpoint is altered, usually in...

Methods of reducing fever01:22

Methods of reducing fever

1.5K
The signs and symptoms of fever include hot and dry skin, flushed face, thirst, muscle aches, anorexia, headache, tachycardia, tachypnea, and fatigue. Elevated body temperature is reduced using two methods: pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Proper identification and treatment of the root cause of a fever is of utmost importance.

Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

2.1K
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Hypersensitivity Reactions: Immune-Complex Reactions01:19

Hypersensitivity Reactions: Immune-Complex Reactions

81
Type III hypersensitivity reactions occur when antigen–antibody complexes form and activate the complement system. Normally, these complexes help the clearance of antigens by phagocytes and red blood cells. However, when large numbers of immune complexes are present, they can deposit in tissues—particularly in the walls of blood vessels—leading to inflammation and tissue injury. These deposits trigger complement activation and neutrophil recruitment, resulting in serum...

Summary

Autoinflammatory disorders involve recurrent inflammation, rash, and arthritis due to genetic defects in innate immunity. Early diagnosis and targeted treatments are crucial for managing these systemic inflammatory conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Genetics
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Autoinflammatory disorders are a group of rare systemic inflammatory diseases.
  • They manifest with recurrent episodes of fever, rash, and arthritis.
  • These conditions stem from dysregulation of the innate immune system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic workup for patients presenting with recurrent inflammatory symptoms.
  • To outline the clinical features and genetic underpinnings of autoinflammatory disorders.
  • To discuss current and emerging therapeutic strategies for these conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of autoinflammatory disorders.
  • Analysis of genetic mutations affecting innate immune sensors.
  • Synthesis of clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, and treatment options.

Main Results:

  • Autoinflammatory disorders are characterized by systemic inflammation, fever, rash, and arthritis.
  • Genetic mutations in innate immune system genes are the primary cause.
  • A systematic approach is necessary for diagnosis and management.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis of autoinflammatory disorders relies on recognizing clinical patterns and identifying genetic defects.
  • Targeted therapies based on the specific genetic defect offer improved outcomes.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis and treatment of these disorders is warranted.
