Increased Body Temperature01:25

Increased Body Temperature

6.4K
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...

Types of Fever

1.7K
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:

Pneumonia I: Introduction

1.5K
Pneumonia is an acute respiratory infection that targets the lungs, specifically the alveoli. These tiny air sacs, essential for oxygen exchange, become engorged with pus and fluid, severely hindering breathing, decreasing oxygen absorption, and causing significant pain and discomfort during respiration.
Risk Factors
Various factors influence the likelihood of developing pneumonia. Age plays a crucial role, with infants, children under two, and individuals over 65 at increased risk due to their...

Acute Respiratory Failure-IV01:23

Acute Respiratory Failure-IV

824
Respiratory failure can manifest suddenly or gradually, characterized by a rapid decline in PaO2 and a rapid rise in PaCO2. This situation indicates a severe respiratory problem that may quickly become a life-threatening emergency. One of the early signs of hypoxemic Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) is a change in mental status due to the brain's sensitivity to oxygen levels and changes in acid-base balance. Symptoms such as restlessness, confusion, and agitation suggest inadequate oxygen...

Pneumonia I: Introduction01:29

Pneumonia I: Introduction

24
Pneumonia is an infection of the lower respiratory tract that leads to inflammation of the lung parenchyma, often resulting in the accumulation of inflammatory exudate in the alveoli and airways. Unlike the watery, low-protein fluid exudate in pulmonary edema, the exudate in this case is a thick fluid rich in immune cells, proteins, and debris produced during infection and inflammation.This impairs gas exchange and can lead to consolidation of lung tissue. The infection may be caused by a...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Eosinophilic pneumonia, a rare lung condition, was diagnosed in an asthma patient with worsening symptoms. Prompt treatment with corticosteroids led to a full recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Allergy and Immunology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Allergic bronchial asthma is a common respiratory condition.
    • Eosinophilic pneumonia is a rare inflammatory lung disease.

    Observation:

    • A 28-year-old female with asthma presented with dyspnea, sputum, and fever.
    • Pulmonary infiltrates worsened despite antibiotic treatment.
    • Bronchial lavage revealed abundant eosinophils, leading to a diagnosis of eosinophilic pneumonia.

    Findings:

    • The patient exhibited increased leucocytes, eosinophilia, and elevated sedimentation rate.
    • Diagnosis was confirmed via biopsy.
    • Initial treatment with 100 mg/day prednisolone significantly reduced infiltrates and eosinophilia.

    Implications:

    • Corticosteroid therapy is effective for eosinophilic pneumonia.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering eosinophilic pneumonia in asthma patients with refractory pulmonary symptoms.
