Slight fever

Recurrent colds, spontaneous sweating with slight fever and aversion to wind after illness, surgery or childbirth, chronic sinusitis, allergies, and morning sickness in early pregnancy.

The findings for the patients on their first visit to a clinician included loin pain, nausea/vomiting (96%), and slight fever (76%) (Fig. 48). Among our patients, 18 (85.7%) of 21 patients were positive for C-reactive protein (CRP), 8 (38.1%) of 21 patients had hypertension, and weight gain was noted in 13 (65.0%) of 20 patients, suggesting overhydration. 

At the onset of exercise-induced acute renal failure (ALPE), a slight fever was often observed, and most patients were positive for C-reactive protein (CRP). After considering the possibility of viral infection-associated ALPE, we investigated changes in the titers of various virus antibodies at onset and in the recovery phase. However, there were no significant changes. 

At the Emergency Outpatient Unit, most patients were initially diagnosed as having ureteral stone, or acute gastroenteritis based on vomiting/slight fever, or acute pancreatitis, lumbar pain, muscular pain, or lumbar disc hernia based on severe pain (Fig. 73). 

ALPE frequently developed after anaerobic exercise, and caused severe loin pain, nausea/vomiting, and slight fever without dark urine. Furthermore, the serum myoglobin and CPK levels were normal or slightly increased, and delayed computed tomography (CT) showed wedge-shaped contrast enhancement. 

The means to achieve this apparently unattainable goal had their origins in the centuries-old observation that those who were actively involved with dairy cows rarely contracted smallpox. Jenner s seminal contribution was to establish that this was linked to their contraction of cowpox, a relatively minor variola-induced disease that caused cows to become moderately unwell and produced eruptions on their udders. Milkmaids and others who milked infected cows usually became unwell with a slight fever and (in Jenner s own words) ... 

The incubation period is typically two to three days and this is followed by a minor illness typical of any virus malaise, slight fever and a mild sore throat. In acute infections, this is followed by what is known as the meningitic phase associated with headache, fever and vomiting, and this may resolve after a week or so. However, it may also precede the paralytic stage in which... 

The symptoms of infection by varicella zoster are usually unmistakable the slight fever accompanied by a rash, which tends to be concentrated on the central part of the body (the trunk) rather than on the face, arms and legs. The spots (vesicles) resemble drops of water on the skin, and these soon dry to form scabs. The infected child is inconvenienced rather than incapacitated by the infection. In adults, chicken pox can have very serious consequences, and may lead to potentially life-threatening encephalitis or pneumonia. However, the more common form of varicella zoster infection in adults leads to a condition known as shingles. This is manifested as severe inflammation of the sensory nerves, which is usually accompanied by intense pain, and later by a rash. In most instances, it seems that the varicella zoster virus of infancy has lain dormant for many decades in the nerve cells, and has been reactivated in response to some kind of trauma (perhaps depresssion or an infection), to produce an attack of shingles. 

A 26-year-old woman, otherwise healthy, complains of burning on urination. She has had a slight fever for the past 24 hours, with backache. On physical examination, her temperature is elevated but her blood pressure and pulse are within normal limits. Abdominal examination is normal, but... 

Body temperature - Studies indicate that athletes have more power when they run a slight fever. The higher temperature induces chemical reactions that make muscles contract faster. 

The Fahrenheit scale was devised by Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), a natural philosopher who was bom in Danzig and settled in Holland. He invented the mercury thermometer in 1714 before then alcohol had been used as the liquid in thermometers. As the zero point on his scale he took the temperature produced by mixing equal quantities of snow and ammonium chloride. His choice of 212 for the boiling point of water was made in order that the temperature of his body should be 100°F The normal temperature of the human body is 98.6°F perhaps Fahrenheit had a slight fever while he was calibrating his thermometer. 

It should be mandatory for the treatment and patient care that the clinical status of the patient is more important than the radiological features. If a slight fever for a few days following the RF procedure does not increase, or is accompanied by chills, malaise, and pain that is more than the usually encountered mild pleuritic pain and thus possibly indicating pneumonia or abscess formation, the patient can be discharged with non-opioid analgesics. 

Clinical tolerance is generally excellent with only mild abdominal pain or discomfort and slight fever which disappear in less than 3 days. A flush syndrome may occur in the post embolization period in patients with carcinoid primary, and should be systematically prevented. During the post PVE period. 

At 9 months of age she was admitted to the Accident and Emergency Department of UCL Hospital in a coma and suffering convulsions. She had been unwell for the previous 3 days, with a slight fever, and for the previous 12 hours had been refusing all food and drink. At this time she weighed 8.8 kg, and her body length was 70.5 cm.
