Approval for data collection by retrospective chart review with a waiver of written informed consent from study participants was granted by the Singapore Ministry of Health under the Infectious Diseases Act as part of the outbreak investigation [14]. bOnly 1 sample of paired values available. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are nonspecific acute-phase reactants that are routinely part of the evaluation of febrile patients.5,28 An extremely elevated ESR (100 mm per hour or greater) suggests etiologies such as abdominal or pelvic abscess, osteomyelitis, and endocarditis.

Flu is caused by influenza viruses only, whereas the common cold can be caused by a number of different viruses, including rhinoviruses, parainfluenza, and seasonal coronaviruses. Clinical characteristics of 138 hospitalized patients with 2019 novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia in Wuhan, China. We conducted a hospital-based casecontrol 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). PLoS Negl Trop Dis 2012; 6(8): e1760 10.1371/journal.pntd.0001760 government site. Conclusions: Influenza (flu) and the common cold are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. This corroborated well with our findings of increased hypoxia in patients with prolonged fever. In patients with a prolonged febrile illness, a minimum diagnostic workup should be performed before classifying the disease process as a fever of unknown origin. In particular, fever was reported in about 72%98.6% of patients, usually lasting <7 days [4, 710]. 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. eCollection 2022. Edupuganti S, Natrajan MS, Rouphael N, Lai L, Xu Y, Feldhammer M, Hill C, Patel SM, Johnson SJ, Bower M, Gorchakov R, Berry R, Murray KO, Mulligan MJ. Similar fever patterns are observed in COVID-19 with unclear significance. Elevated lactate dehydrogenase levels can be indicative of infectious and malignant causes of FUO, including malaria, lymphoma, and leukemia.15,21 Measurement of ferritin levels may also be helpful.33 An elevated ferritin level in prolonged febrile illness may indicate malignancy (especially myeloproliferative disorders) and other noninfectious inflammatory diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus or temporal arteritis.21,33 One study established a ferritin level of 561 ng per mL (1,261 pmol per L) as the optimal cutoff value to predict that FUO was due to a noninfectious cause.22 Extreme elevation of ferritin levels (greater than 1,000 ng per mL [2,247 pmol per L]) can point to adult Still disease.34 Infection is the most common reason ESR is extremely elevated, but if there is no evidence of infectious causes, clinicians should consider malignancy, renal disease, and inflammatory disorders if the ESR is 100 mm per hour or greater.29. There are no published guidelines, nor is there a recommended standard approach to the diagnosis. 7 days, a Singapore study reveals. 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. Careers. Europe PMC is an archive of life sciences journal literature. Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford. Roseola often starts with a high fever often higher than 103 F (39.4 C). Fever is a nonspecific symptom that may be caused by infectious and noninfectious conditions, including malignancies, systemic rheumatic diseases, and drug reactions. The 2011 dengue haemorrhagic fever outbreak in Lahore - an account of clinical parameters and pattern of haemorrhagic complications. To investigate whether the fever patterns experienced by the patients are due to differences in immune responses, concentrations of 45 immune mediators were profiled. 2020 Oct 28;21(1):897. doi: 10.1186/s13063-020-04819-9. The results of these microbiological investigations were also collected and analyzed. In addition to their pro-inflammatory properties, both IL-6 and IP-10 have been reported to be associated with disease severity and ICU admission in COVID-19 [18, 19] . A more recent article on fever of unknown origin in adults is available. doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofx133. If the diagnosis remains elusive, 18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography plus computed tomography may help guide the clinician toward tissue biopsy. Cases with prolonged fever were also more likely to require ICU admission compared with controls (11.1% vs 0.9%; P=.05). B, Comparison of immune mediator levels in patients with prolonged fever (n=11), patients with saddleback fever (n=8), and patients with fever that lasted 7 days (control; n=56). Untreated typhoid fever may progress to delirium, obtundation, intestinal hemorrhage, bowel. A larger cohort might help to improve our understanding of these patients. Ng DH, Wong JG, Thein TL, Leo YS, Lye DC. 2013 Sep 26;7(9):e2412. We also excluded 4 patients whose fever pattern did not fulfill the case definition for prolonged or saddleback fever. Upon admission, all patients underwent a chest x-ray (CXR), admission full blood count (FBC), renal and liver panel, C-reactive protein (CRP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and nasopharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2 PCR. Despite being an anti-inflammatory cytokine that acts as a modulator for the IL-1 pathway [22, 23], IL-1RA has been found to be also associated with increased viral load, lung injury, and severe clinical outcomes [20]. Thank you for submitting a comment on this article. government site. 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. A, Heatmap showing the relative concentration of cytokines across patients with different fever patterns. A P value of<.05 indicated statistical significance. Confirmed imported case of novel coronavirus infection in Singapore; multi-ministry taskforce ramps up precautionary measures.2020. Fever of unknown origin has been described as a febrile illness (temperature of 101F [38.3C] or higher) for three weeks or longer without an etiology despite a one-week inpatient evaluation. Clinico-laboratory spectrum of dengue viral infection and risk factors associated with dengue hemorrhagic fever: a retrospective study. 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. The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the MeSH Fever duration was longer in patients 6 to 12 months old and 12 to 18 . Keywords: Cases without prolonged or saddleback fever were included as controls. 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. 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 with saddleback fever appeared to have good outcomes regardless of the fever. Cytokines were determined with multiplex microbead-based immunoassay for a subgroup of patients.

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. Outcomes of COVID-19 Among High-Risk Individuals: A Study Comparing Febrile and Afebrile Presentation. More studies are required to validate the findings of this report. Fever was defined as a temperature of 38.0C. Such facilities free up hospital beds to enable sicker patients to be optimally managed. The results of this study can be used to optimize placement of patients with COVID-19. Bookshelf Statistical analyses were performed using Stata, version 14 (StataCorp, College Station, TX, USA). The 18F fluorodeoxyglucose has better uptake and is cleared more rapidly than older modalities (e.g., gallium Ga 67 citrate), but it is costly and not widely available.14, Liver, lymph node, or temporal artery biopsy may help establish a definitive diagnosis.3,19 A prospective study of 192 patients found that biopsies produced up to a 35% diagnostic yield (about 10% to 35%), especially if performed later in the evaluation when infection is less likely, and malignancies and noninfectious inflammatory diseases are more common.2 Liver biopsy, with a diagnostic yield between 14% and 17%,5,19 can reveal granulomatous hepatitis and determine its cause, which could be infectious, inflammatory, or neoplastic processes.22,27 Lymph node biopsy is most useful in diagnosing lymphoma, infectious diseases, and granulomatous diseases.19,27 In patients 55 years or older, temporal arteritis causes more than 15% of cases of FUO, so biopsy should be considered.5,15,18, Bone marrow biopsy is diagnostically useful, particularly with neoplasm and infectious disease, especially tuberculosis.19,27 One study of 280 hospitalized febrile patients found that bone marrow biopsy was helpful in reaching a diagnosis in nearly 25% of the 130 patients who underwent biopsy.41 Conversely, bone marrow aspiration and culture have a diagnostic yield of only 0% to 2%.3,5,15,22,41. Duration of fever was prolonged with increased age. Angela Chow Li Ping, Brenda Sze Peng Ang, Chen Seong Wong, Cheng Chuan Lee, Ding Ying, Jun-Yang Tay, Kalisvar Marimuthu, Lawrence Soon U.

Fever of unknown origin has been described as a febrile illness (temperature of 101F [38.3C] or higher) for three weeks or longer without an etiology despite a one-week inpatient evaluation. The variance between the highest and lowest core temperature in a given day is usually no more than 1 to 1.5C. Europe PMC is an archive of life sciences journal literature. Interim guidance for implementing home care of people not requiring hospitalization for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The clinical features of classic KD are shown in Table 1. All efforts have been undertaken to anonymize the data. eCollection 2013. One case with prolonged fever had concomitant infection with ventilator-associated pneumonia, with Klebsiella pneumoniae grown from his endotracheal aspirate on day 8 of ICU admission (day 15 of illness). Characteristics and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 admitted to hospital and intensive care in the first phase of the pandemic in Canada: a national cohort study. Confirmed imported case of novel coronavirus infection in Singapore; multi-ministry taskforce ramps up precautionary measures.

People who wish to treat a fever can try over-the-counter anti-fever medications, such as acetaminophen, aspirin, or ibuprofen. There were no deaths in our study. Teleconferencing is often used to monitor these cases for potential deterioration. Prolonged fever beyond 7 days from onset of illness can identify patients who may be at risk of adverse outcomes from COVID-19. Cases with prolonged fever were also more likely to require ICU admission compared with controls (11.1% vs 0.9%; P = .05). Chan SY, Tsai YF, Yen MY, Yu WR, Hung CC, Kuo TL, Chen CC, Yen YF, Huang SH, Huang TC, Huang SJ. Repeat laboratory investigations and CXR were done for those with prolonged or saddleback fever and collected. Cases without prolonged or saddleback fever were included as controls. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. The 4 cases who were excluded from the primary analysis demonstrated a saddleback pattern of fever that lasted >24 hours. aInvestigations were repeated at the point at which they satisfied criteria for prolonged or 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. All authors have submitted the ICMJE Form for Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest. Cytokine level for healthy controls (n=23) is indicated by the black dotted line. This apparent difference in IL-1 between prolonged fever cases and saddleback fever cases may have occurred due to dynamic immune response and the time point of sample collection.

Fever of unknown origin is more often an atypical presentation of a common disease rather than an unusual disease. RSV is a contagious illness that infects the respiratory tract and can lead to more severe infections like pneumonia or bronchiolitis. A dysregulated immune response in COVID-19 has been postulated to lead a deleterious cytokine storm [12]. official website and that any information you provide is encrypted Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and in-hospital mortality among COVID-19 patients: A population-based retrospective cohort study. This material may not otherwise be downloaded, copied, printed, stored, transmitted or reproduced in any medium, whether now known or later invented, except as authorized in writing by the AAFP. Those with prolonged fever had a median duration of fever (interquartile range [IQR]) of 10 (911) days for prolonged fever cases, while fever recurred at a median (IQR) of 10 (812) days for those with saddleback fever. Plasma fractions were isolated from blood samples of COVID-19 patients collected during the acute phase (median post-illness onset, 6 days). Fever was defined as a temperature of 38.0C. Extreme poverty first: An argument on the equitable distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine in Peru. In addition, as these patients with saddleback fever tend to do well, there is also no need for repeat laboratory testing or chest X-ray, as the results are unlikely to change management or clinical outcomes, they said. Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), dengue shock syndrome (DSS) and severe dengue (SD) were significantly more likely to occur in patients with prolonged fever. Dengue fever is an acute febrile illness with a duration of 2-12 days. Cases who were already on supplemental oxygen or were already in the ICU at the time of satisfying criteria for prolonged or saddleback fever were excluded from the analysis. Methods: 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. Blue and red represent low and high concentrations, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Prolonged fever beyond 7 days from onset of illness can identify patients who may be at risk of adverse outcomes from COVID-19. 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. Clinicians should perform a comprehensive history and examination to look for potentially diagnostic clues to guide the initial evaluation. Members of the National Centre for Infectious Diseases COVID-19 Outbreak Research Team. Cytokines were determined with multiplex microbead-based immunoassay for a subgroup of patients. Fever often occurs in response to infection, inflammation and trauma. Patients who tested positive were not discharged until they had 2 negative PCR tests 24 hours apart [13]. The most common subgroups in the differential are infection, malignancy, noninfectious inflammatory diseases, and miscellaneous. 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]. Prolonged fever beyond 7 days from onset of illness can identify patients who may be at risk of adverse outcomes from COVID-19. The findings of the study are useful for informing the optimal placement of patients with COVID-19, the researchers pointed out. 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 may be caused by a virus, bacteria, fungus, blood clot, tumor, drug, or the environment. Concentrations of 45 immune mediators in plasma were quantified using a 45-plex microbead-based immunoassay. doi: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0004575.

PMC Our cohort only had 1 mortality, and this may be reflective of the overall low mortality rate in Singapore. Cytokine and chemokine concentrations from an additional 23 healthy controls who did not have COVID-19 were also analyzed for baseline comparison. The median age was 34 years of age (5 th - 95 th percentile: 17-59) and males comprised 1971 (69.3%) of study sub- Recommendations of the Scientific Working Group on Dengue.

In addition, in comparison with other parameters such as respiratory rate, heart rate, or blood pressure, fever is easy to detect and readily identifiable as a risk factor for severe disease. Before Treatment. For most people, a temperature of 98.6 F or 37 C is baseline. Those with prolonged fever had a median duration of fever (interquartile range [IQR]) of 10 (9-11) days for prolonged fever cases, while fever recurred at a median (IQR) of 10 (8-12) days for those with saddleback fever. "It is extremely difficult to tell the difference," explains Dr. Danelle Fisher, FAAP, pediatrician and chair of pediatrics at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, CA. In one study of patients with FUO, chest and abdominal CT had high sensitivity (82% and 92%, respectively) and were recommended if the initial evaluation was unrevealing.15 CT specificity ranged from 60% to 70%, consistent with other case series.15,16 Echocardiography is recommended if there are clinical indications of endocarditis.5,20 Venous Doppler ultrasonography is indicated for suspected thromboembolism.20 Magnetic resonance imaging of the aortic arch and great vessels of the neck was shown to be helpful when vasculitis was suspected.36, Nuclear imaging studies are noninvasive, image the whole body, and can localize a potential infectious or inflammatory cause for FUO.5,14,19,3740 Recently, 18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography technology has been evaluated for guiding further invasive testing, especially in patients who have an elevated ESR or CRP level.14,37 The 18F fluorodeoxyglucose is taken up by inflammatory and cancer cells because of their high rate of glucolysis.14,18,37 Several studies examining this method in patients with FUO found diagnostic yields ranging from 16% to 69%,15,37,38 with a high positive predictive value (93%) and negative predictive value (100%).39,40 A hybrid of CT and 18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography has a higher diagnostic yield (sensitivity of 56% to 100%; specificity of 75% to 81%18).

Age-appropriate or potentially diagnostic clueguided cancer screening should be performed (e.g., colonoscopy in patients 50 years or older). 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. 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. This study demonstrates that prolonged fever may be associated with various warning signs and more severe forms of dengue (SD, DSS, DHF), while saddleback fever showed associations with DHF and SD but not DSS. 2016 May 20;10(5):e0004575. Available at: Ministry of Health (MOH) Singapore. ; Singapore 2019 Novel Coronavirus Outbreak Research Team. Data Sources: A PubMed search was completed using the key terms fever of unknown origin, FUO, pyrexia of unknown origin, and inflammatory markers. 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]. Results: A lower IP-10 level is consistent with the finding that saddleback fever cases tend to have better clinical outcomes than prolonged fever cases.

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). In multiple studies, procalcitonin has been shown to have a specificity ranging from 70% to 98%, with a higher specificity for bacterial infection than other markers.28,31,32 It may be helpful in distinguishing between fevers with a bacterial cause vs. noninfectious inflammatory diseases, but its role in the workup of FUO is currently undefined.28,32, If the diagnosis remains elusive, tests targeting malignancies and noninfectious inflammatory diseases should be considered. This phenomenon is also observed in other viral fevers, like dengue virus [27] and thrombocytopenia syndrome virus [28, 29], where patients with more severe illness have higher serum levels of IP-10.
