Prolonged fever of unknown origin in children. This suggests that in patients with prolonged fever, close monitoring for deterioration should be instituted, while patients with saddleback fever who remain well and do not require supplemental oxygenation are unlikely to require close monitoring in the hospital. In conclusion, we reported on the prevalence, risk factors, cytokine profiles, and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 who had saddleback or prolonged fever. This study aims to examine the prevalence of prolonged and saddleback fever in dengue as well as their associations with dengue severity.

We conducted a hospital-based case-control study of patients admitted for COVID-19 with prolonged fever (fever >7 days) and saddleback fever (recurrence of fever, lasting <24 hours, after defervescence beyond day 7 of illness). Cases with prolonged fever were defined as patients with fever lasting >7 days. Figure 1 outlines a diagnostic approach to patients with prolonged febrile illness and FUO.1,2,47,1520,23,27, Hospitalization may be considered at any time during the evaluation, especially if the patient exhibits signs of a critical illness. Print 2021 Jan-Mar. COVID-19 and sinus infections share several symptoms like nasal congestion, fever, and coughing. . However, it is interesting that there are higher pro-inflammatory IL-1 levels in patients with saddleback fever. This can happen when your body is fighting an infection. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal The elevation of circulating IL-1RA may reflect overactive IL-1 activation, which has been reported to associated with severe outcomes in COVID-19 [24]. Plasma fractions were isolated from blood samples of COVID-19 patients collected during the acute phase (median post-illness onset, 6 days). Concentrations of 45 immune mediators in plasma were quantified using a 45-plex microbead-based immunoassay. Fever of unknown origin is more often an atypical presentation of a common disease rather than an unusual disease. Open Forum Infect Dis. Challenges in dengue fever in the elderly: Atypical presentation and risk of severe dengue and hospital-acquired infection. Empiric trials of antibiotics or steroids rarely establish a diagnosis and are discouraged in the management of patients with FUO, unless there are clinical indications.5,17,19,21,22 Consultation with a subspecialist (e.g., infectious disease specialist, rheumatologist, hematologist/oncologist) is appropriate at any point in the evaluation. The clinical features of classic KD are shown in Table 1.

Singapore reported its first imported case of COVID-19 in a traveler from Wuhan on January 23, 2020, followed by its first locally transmitted case on February 7, 2020 [2, 3]. A fever is a rise in your body temperature. On repeat testing, prolonged fever was associated with a drop in hemoglobin and a rise in CRP and LDH (Table 2). Duration of rhinorrhea and cough was shorter in females than in males and in groups with birth weight 3 kg than in those with <2.5 kg. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to evaluate for differences in paired samples. Repeat CXR was not performed for cases in the control group and 1 case of saddleback fever. Patients with prolonged fever had higher induced protein -10 and lower interleukin-1 levels compared with those with saddleback fever at the early acute phase of disease. eCollection 2017 Summer. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients with prolonged fever showed more pronounced inflammatory response and were more likely to require ICU admission than cases with saddleback fever or with fever lasting Dengue fever is gaining importance in Singapore with an increase in the number of cases and mortality in recent years. While it has been reported that complications of COVID-19 occur in the second week of illness, the significance of these 2 patterns of fever with regards to the development of complications is unknown [4].

Conflicts that the editors consider relevant to the content of the manuscript have been disclosed. In this study, saddleback fever was defined as temperature >37.5C with defervescence of at least one day, followed by a second peak lasting at least one day. While prolonged fever was associated with a higher rate of ICU admission vs controls (11.1 percent vs 0.9 percent; p=0.05), saddleback fever was not, despite both being associated with hypoxia. Importantly, upregulation of the IL-1 pathway on monocytes can increase prostaglandin E2 expression and drive fever [32]. Would you like email updates of new search results?

Demographic and comorbidity data, symptoms and signs, vital signs, and laboratory and radiology results were obtained from electronic medical records. 2016 May 20;10(5):e0004575. Mucosal bleeding, anorexia, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting, lethargy, rash, clinical fluid accumulation, hepatomegaly, nosocomial infection, leukopenia, higher neutrophil count, higher hematocrit, higher alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST), higher creatinine, lower protein and prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) were significantly associated with prolonged fever but not platelet count or prothrombin time (PT). Front Cell Infect Microbiol. Mallhi TH, Khan AH, Adnan AS, Sarriff A, Khan YH, Jummaat F. BMC Infect Dis. Adverse outcomes were hypoxia, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, mechanical ventilation, and mortality. Confirmed imported case of novel coronavirus infection in Singapore; multi-ministry taskforce ramps up precautionary measures. Saddleback fever cases were also found to have higher pro-inflammatory IL-1, T-cell-activating mediators IL-21 and IL-22, and chemokine stromal cellderived factor 1 (SDF-1) compared with controls (Figure 1B). Approximately 12% to 35% of patients die from an FUO-related cause (generally infection or malignancy), yet of those whose conditions remain undiagnosed, most recover or have a benign course with a good prognosis.5,22. History and physical examination alone are often sufficient to diagnose uncomplicated infectious causes of fever . Patients with prolonged fever are more likely to develop hypoxia and have a more pronounced inflammatory response in comparison with those in the saddleback fever group, which is also reflected in the different cytokine profiles between the 2 groups. Nevertheless, as patients in the ICU are at higher risk of nosocomial infections, due diligence should be done to exclude other causes of fever [17]. Immune mediator levels in Triton X-100 (1%; Sigma Aldrich) inactivated plasma from a subset of patients in all 3 groups were measured using Cytokine/Chemokine/Growth Factor 45-plex Human ProcartaPlex Panel 1 (ThermoFisher Scientific), in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. CMAJ Open. However, there were no significant differences in the admission laboratory values between the control and saddleback fever groups. Although there are more than 200 diseases in the differential diagnosis, most cases in adults are limited to several dozen possible causes. Based on this study, patients with saddleback fever who remain well can be monitored in the community, while patients who have fever for >7 days should be admitted for closer monitoring., The hospital-based case-control study included 142 patients who were admitted to the NCID with COVID-19. For cases with prolonged fever, investigations were repeated beyond day 7 of illness, and for cases with saddleback fever, investigations were repeated at point of fever recurrence. Both prolonged (27.8% vs 0.9%; P<.01) and saddleback fever (14.3% vs 0.9%; P=.03) were associated with hypoxia compared with controls. The PubMed wordmark and PubMed logo are registered trademarks of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Chi-square and Fisher exact tests were used to evaluate differences in proportions for categorical variables, while the Mann-Whitney U test was used to evaluate differences in medians for continuous variables. While both prolonged and saddleback fever showed an association with hypoxia, only prolonged fever was associated with ICU admission. If there is no clear source of infection, then further testing should follow. A total of 142 patients were included in the study; 12.7% (18/142) of cases had prolonged fever, and 9.9% (14/142) had saddleback fever.

Patients were categorized as having prolonged fever (lasting >7 days), saddleback fever (defined as recurrent fever which lasts for <24 hours, after defervescence beyond day 7 of illness), or controls if their fever was 7 days. 2016 Dec 9;11(12):e0167025. Notably, patients with prolonged fever had higher IP-10 and lower IL-1 levels as compared with patients with saddleback fever (Figure 1B). We conducted a casecontrol study of patients who were admitted to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID), with a positive SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, from January 23 to March 31, 2020.

Because there are no guidelines to the approach of the febrile patient, most evaluation recommendations are based on expert opinion.17 On initial presentation, most clinicians perform a history and physical examination in pursuit of an infection. More studies are required to validate the findings of this report. A more recent article on fever of unknown origin in adults is available. Like RA, rheumatic fever affects the joints. Higher respiratory rate, lower SpO2, and lower systolic BP were also associated with saddleback fever compared with the control group. This corresponded with a rise in CRP and LDH seen in cases with prolonged fever, which are known to be associated with adverse prognostic factors in COVID-19 [15, 16].

Both prolonged (27.8% vs 0.9%; P < .01) and saddleback fever (14.3% vs 0.9%; P = .03) were associated with hypoxia compared with controls. Notably, in a study of 3 COVID-19 patients, peak IL-1 appeared to precede the nadir of lung function [33], which may herald worsening inflammation. FOIA When there are no clear localizing signs or symptoms, clinicians should expand on the patient's symptoms and historical information, looking for potentially diagnostic clues to guide the evaluation (Table 4).1720,25,27 This is a continuous, iterative process.1921 Potentially diagnostic clues lead to a diagnosis in 62% of patients, although clues can be misleading because they are found in 97% of patients.1517, If no potentially diagnostic clues are found, a minimum diagnostic workup should be performed. eCollection 2022.

But normal body temperature can range between 97 F (36.1 C) and 99 F (37.2 C) or more. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) situation report101.2020. CONCLUSIONS: Prolonged fever beyond 7 days from onset of illness can identify patients who may be at risk of adverse outcomes from COVID-19. Compared with prolonged fever, saddleback fever did not show many significant associations except for diarrhea, abdominal pain, clinical fluid accumulation, hematocrit and platelet change, and lower systolic blood pressure. For most people, a temperature of 98.6 F or 37 C is baseline. The variance between the highest and lowest core temperature in a given day is usually no more than 1 to 1.5C. A fever may be caused by a virus, bacteria, fungus, blood clot, tumor, drug, or the environment. Prolonged fever beyond 7 days from onset of illness can identify patients who may be at risk of adverse outcomes from COVID-19, said the researchers led by Dr Deborah Ng from National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID), Singapore, on behalf of the NCID COVID-19 Outbreak Research Team. IL-1 is dual function cytokine that can act as both a transcription factor and a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP), which can be released by necrotic cells to promote and exacerbate inflammation via IL-1R1 [30]. Differences Between Prolonged Fever and Nonprolonged Fever Groups. Fever was defined as a temperature of 38.0C. RSV is a contagious illness that infects the respiratory tract and can lead to more severe infections like pneumonia or bronchiolitis. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) situation report101. ; Singapore 2019 Novel Coronavirus Outbreak Research Team. Patients with prolonged fever may have had higher levels of IL-1 earlier on before sample collection. Based on this study, patients with saddleback fever who remain well can be monitored in the community, while patients who have fever for >7 days should be admitted for closer monitoring. In addition, as these patients with saddleback fever tend to do well, there is also no need for repeat laboratory testing or CXR, as the results are unlikely to change management or clinical outcomes. 2022 Oct 31;12:1009894. doi: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.1009894. Am J Dis Child 1972; 124:544. Meanwhile, the levels of IP-10 in patients with saddleback fever was lower than those with prolonged fever (p<0.001) at a level almost matching that in controls. Nature. Dengue fever is an acute febrile illness with a duration of 2-12 days. Keywords: In addition, the contribution of immunosenescence toward the establishment of cytokine storm and severe illness can be seen in previous studies [5].

An official website of the United States government. PMC This circadian rhythm may differ among individuals but should be consistent in each person . At the initial encounter, testing for common infections should include a complete blood count with differential, electrolyte panel, liver enzymes, urinalysis with culture, blood culture, and chest radiography. The Author(s) 2020. The presence of prolonged or saddleback fever in dengue patients should therefore prompt detailed evaluation for complications of dengue, as well as early investigation to evaluate for development of nosocomial infection. Conti P, Panara MR, Barbacane RC, et al. Such facilities free up hospital beds to enable sicker patients to be optimally managed. Duration of fever was calculated from the date of first symptom onset to the date of defervescence (defined as temperature <37.5C for at least 24 hours) during the hospital admission.
