  7. Mechanisms of Heat Regulation To raise Body Temperature To lower Body Temperature

  8. Mechanisms of Heat Regulation To raise Body Temperature Heat generation Obligate heat production Muscular work Shivering

  9. Mechanisms of Heat Regulation To raise Body Temperature Heat generation Obligate heat production Muscular work Shivering Heat conservation Vasoconstruction Heat preference

  10. Mechanisms of Heat Regulation To raise Body Temperature Heat generation Obligate heat production Muscular work Shivering Heat conservation Vasoconstruction Heat preference To lower Body Temperature Heat loss Obligate heat loss Vasodilatation Sweating Cold preference

  11. MAJOR THERMOREGULATORY PATHWAYS I. Skin temperature Core temperature Central thermoreceptors (in hypothalamus, other areas of CNS and abdominal organs) Peripheral thermoreceptors (in skin) Hypothalamic thermoregulatory integrating center

  12. MAJOR THERMOREGULATORY PATHWAYS II. Hypothalamic thermoregulatory integrating center Behavioral adaptations Motor neurons Sympatheticnervous system Sympatheticnervous system Sceletal muscles Skin sweatglands Skin bloodvessels Muscle tone, shivering Skin vasoconstriction, vasodilataion Sweating Control of heat production or loss Control of heat production Control of heat loss Control of heat loss

  13. Fever; Hyperthermia Fever >37.8 °C (100.2°) Elevated body temperature mediated by anincrease in the hypothalamic heat-regulating set point Hyperthermia Increase in body temp. (>41°) that overrides or bypasses the normal homeostatic mechanisms

  14. PATHOGENESIS OF FEVER

  15. CAUSES OF FEVER Infection Tissue injury - infarction, trauma Malignancy Drugs Immune-mediated disorders Other inflammatory disorders Endocrine disorders Factitious of self-induced fever

  16. without localizing signs or symptoms Infections presenting as fever Viral Rhinovirus, adenovirus, parainfluenza Enterovirus, ECHO Influenza EBV, CMV Colorado tick fever Bacterial Staphylococcus aureus Listeria monocytogenes Salmonella thyphi, S. parathyphi Streptococci Post animal exposure Coxiella burneti (Q fever) Leptospira interrogans Brucella species Ehrlichia chaffeensis Granulomatous infection Mycobacterium tuberculosis Histoplasma capsulatum

  25. DEFINITION OF FUO 1. Fever ≥ 38.3°C (>101°F) on several occasions Petersdorf RB et al: Fever of unexplained origin: report on 100 cases. Medicine 1961;40:1-30.

  26. DEFINITION OF FUO 1. Fever ≥ 38.3°C (>101°F) on several occasions 2. Duration ≥ 3 weeks Petersdorf RB et al: Fever of unexplained origin: report on 100 cases. Medicine 1961;40:1-30.

  27. DEFINITION OF FUO 1. Fever ≥ 38.3°C (>101°F) on several occasions 2. Duration ≥ 3 weeks 3. Failure to reach a diagnosis despite 1 week appropriate in-hospital investigation or 3 outpatient visits Petersdorf RB et al: Fever of unexplained origin: report on 100 cases. Medicine 1961;40:1-30.

  28. DEFINITIONS Durack DT et al.: FUO- reexamined and redefinied. Curr Clin Top Inf Dis 1991;11:35-51. Knockaert DC et al : FUO in adults: 40 years on. J Intern Med 2003;253:263-275

  29. DEFINITIONS Classical FUO Nosocomial FUO Neutropenic FUO HIV-associated FUO Durack DT et al.: FUO- reexamined and redefinied. Curr Clin Top Inf Dis 1991;11:35-51. Knockaert DC et al : FUO in adults: 40 years on. J Intern Med 2003;253:263-275
