Types of Fever

Types of Fever

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:

Patterns of Fever

Patterns of Fever

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

Methods of reducing fever

Methods of reducing fever

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.
Pharmacological Methods of Reducing Fever:

Lateralization

Lateralization

Brain lateralization refers to the division of mental processes and functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, a phenomenon that optimizes neural efficiency and underpins complex abilities in humans. This specialization allows each hemisphere to perform tasks where it has a comparative advantage, facilitating more refined cognitive capabilities across different domains.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Cardiac Catheterization III: Left Heart Catheterization

Cardiac Catheterization III: Left Heart Catheterization

Left heart catheterization is an invasive diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the function and structure of the left side of the heart. It is generally performed to diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions such as valve abnormalities, coronary artery disease, and congenital heart defects.Diagnostic and therapeutic purposesLeft heart catheterization serves various diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Assessing coronary artery bypass grafts.Evaluating coronary artery disease in...

Background:

Enteric fever, caused by Salmonella Typhi, is a systemic infection prevalent in South Asia.
Neurological complications of enteric fever, though rare, can significantly impact patient outcomes.

Observation:

A 17-year-old female presented with symptoms suggestive of enteric fever, including fever, headache, and vomiting.
Following initial treatment with azithromycin, the patient developed new-onset diplopia (double vision).
Clinical examination revealed isolated left lateral rectus palsy as the cause of diplopia.

Findings:

Blood culture confirmed Salmonella Typhi infection.
The patient's diplopia resolved after a course of methylprednisolone, indicating a potential inflammatory or vasculitic process.
The left lateral rectus palsy was hypothesized to result from vasculitic changes affecting the abducens nerve.

Implications:

This case highlights a rare neurological complication of enteric fever, specifically abducens nerve palsy.
Early recognition and management of such complications are crucial for preventing long-term sequelae.
The findings suggest a potential role for anti-inflammatory treatment in managing neuro-ophthalmic manifestations of enteric fever.
