Non Infectious Causes of Fever In Intensive Care Unit
Mohamed Magdy Yehia ELsheref;
Abstract
The regulation of body temperature is one of the myriad of interrelated functions essential to the maintenance of homeostasis that is controlled primarily through dedicated pathways in the brain.
Fever is an elevation in core body temperature above the daily range for an individual, it is a characteristic feature of most infections but is also found in a number of noninfectious diseases such as autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases.
Core temperature is the best evaluation of body temperature because it is the least influenced by environmental and other factors and maintains a stable temperature.
The alternative methods are noninvasive and measure peripheral temperature, which can be influenced by extreme environment and physiological conditions.
A large number of non infectious disorders result in tissue injury with inflammation and a febrile reaction such as alcohol/drug withdrawal, postoperative fever (48 h postoperative), post transfusion fever, drug fever, adrenal insufficiency, pancreatitis,acalculous cholecystitis, aspiration pneumonitis, ARDS (both acute and late fibroproliferative phase), subarachnoid hemorrhage, transplant rejection, deep venous thrombosis, gout/pseudogout, Hematoma, cirrhosis (without primary peritonitis), GI bleed, phlebitis/thrombophlebitis, IV contrast reaction, neoplastic fevers and decubitus ulcers.
