Increased Body Temperature01:25

Increased Body Temperature

3.0K
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...

Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

5.8K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Types of Fever01:25

Types of Fever

608
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:

Tonsillitis I: Introduction01:30

Tonsillitis I: Introduction

649
Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils, which are two lymphoid tissue masses at the back of the throat. This condition can cause discomfort and irritation in the throat.
Etiology
Three primary contributing factors have been identified.

Acute Pharyngitis01:30

Acute Pharyngitis

1.8K
Introduction
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:

Methods of reducing fever01:22

Methods of reducing fever

787
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.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Hematology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma is a rare and aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • It often presents with non-specific symptoms, mimicking common upper respiratory infections.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old patient presented with persistent cold symptoms including rhinorrhea and headache.
  • Initial treatments for presumed viral infection were ineffective, and symptoms persisted over multiple consultations.

Findings:

  • Further diagnostic workup revealed the patient had stage IV nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma.
  • Despite intensive therapeutic interventions, the patient's condition rapidly progressed.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the critical need for considering rare and aggressive malignancies in the differential diagnosis of persistent, seemingly benign symptoms.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for improving outcomes in patients with nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma, although prognosis remains poor in advanced stages.
