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. However, there was a proportion of patients from our hospital who displayed 2 patterns of fever: 1 group had fever persisting into the second week of illness, while the second group displayed a saddleback pattern of fever, similar to that previously observed in dengue [11]. CMAJ Open. Would you like email updates of new search results? In one review, an ESR of 100 mm per hour or greater had a high specificity for malignancy (96%) and infection (97%), and its positive predictive value was 90%.29 A normal ESR has a high negative predictive value for temporal arteritis.28,30 An ESR that is not elevated has no diagnostic value and does not rule out neoplastic or other disorders.27 CRP level is a sensitive marker for infection and inflammation, but it is not sensitive enough to discriminate between disease processes.28 However, a more recent prospective study found that the chance of establishing a diagnosis was higher in patients who had an elevated CRP level and ESR.15, Procalcitonin is a newer marker specific for bacterial infection. IL-1 is a pyrogenic cytokine that plays a central role in inflammatory diseases like arthralgia [23]. aInvestigations were repeated at the point at which they satisfied criteria for prolonged or saddleback fever. 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 Plasma immune mediator levels in COVID-19 patients experiencing different fever patterns. National Library of Medicine eCollection 2016. 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. 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. 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). Interim guidance for implementing home care of people not requiring hospitalization for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). 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. Adverse outcomes were hypoxia, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, mechanical ventilation, and mortality. Patients with prolonged fever may have had higher levels of IL-1 earlier on before sample collection. However, this view of fever is merely an oversimplification as a growing body of evidence now suggests that fever represents a complex adaptive response of the host to various immune challenges whether infectious or non-infectious. Two remained in the general ward throughout their stay without any complications, while 2 were admitted to the ICU, 1 of whom died from acute respiratory distress syndrome. Methods 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). The mean duration of symptoms and signs before diagnosis (28.4 13.2 versus 45.0 30.8 days; P < 0.05), . The fever itself is generally harmless and probably helpful. Your body temperature can vary depending . [Open Forum Infect Dis 2020;7:ofaa375]. JAMA 2020; 323(11):10619. Europe PMC is an archive of life sciences journal literature. Patients who tested positive were not discharged until they had 2 negative PCR tests 24 hours apart [13]. -, Huang C, Wang Y, Li X, et al. Those with prolonged fever had a median duration of fever for 10 days (IQR 9-11 days) for prolonged fever cases, while fever recurred at a median of 10 days (IQR 8-12 days) for those with saddleback fever. In many cases, no specific cause of the fever is found, 2 . Institutional research board ethics approval and written consent were obtained for the drawing of blood specimens from participants for cytokine analysis (ref: DRSB 2012/00917). A person viewing it online may make one printout of the material and may use that printout only for his or her personal, non-commercial reference. Cases with prolonged fever were found to have higher levels of anti-inflammatory IL-1RA, pro-inflammatory IL-6, and chemokine interferon- IP-10 compared with controls (Figure 1B).

Additional references were identified from the articles reviewed. Clinicians should perform a comprehensive history and examination to look for potentially diagnostic clues to guide the initial evaluation. Pneumonia was present in 26.8% (38/142) of the cohort, of which 21.1% (8/38) required supplemental oxygen; 2.1% (3/142) of patients required ICU admission, 1 of whom required mechanical ventilation. 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). Patients with saddleback fever appeared to have good outcomes regardless of the fever. Your comment will be reviewed and published at the journal's discretion. Hypoxia was defined as requirement for supplemental oxygen. Pediatrics 1975; 55:468. eCollection 2013. Differences Between Prolonged Fever and Nonprolonged Fever Groups. At the time of writing, there were no supporting studies on the association between elevated levels of IL-21, IL-22, and SDF-1 and COVID-19. All Rights Reserved. One limitation of the study is the small sample size of our cohort. A fever is a rise in your body temperature. Previous testing (ESR, complete blood count, electrolyte panel, chest radiography, urinalysis, blood culture) may be repeated periodically to evaluate for trends as the illness evolves. doi: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0002412. Please check for further notifications by email. Refining the global spatial limits of dengue virus transmission by evidence-based consensus. Saddleback fever was present in 165 (5.8%). RSV is a contagious illness that infects the respiratory tract and can lead to more severe infections like pneumonia or bronchiolitis. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Infectious Diseases Society of America. 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. 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]. Statistical data analysis on the types of fevers Several diagnostic algorithms have been suggested for FUO, but few are supported by evidence from prospective studies.17 Region-specific serologic tests, more advanced radiologic studies, and more invasive diagnostic procedures can be guided by potentially diagnostic clues. The Author(s) 2020. HHS Vulnerability Disclosure, Help A, Heatmap showing the relative concentration of cytokines across patients with different fever patterns. MeSH Similar fever patterns are observed in COVID-19 with unclear significance. The levels of other immune mediators measured were not significantly different between groups.

A total of 2843 polymerase-chain reaction (PCR) confirmed dengue patients admitted to Tan Tock Seng Hospital from 2004 to 2008 were included in the study. 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. Epub 2022 Aug 27. Fever was defined as a temperature of 38.0C or higher. It starts suddenly and lasts 3 to 5 days. Prolonged fever lasting more than 7 days after illness onset can help physicians identify patients at high risk for adverse outcomes from COVID-19, according to a study. 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. 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. -. 8600 Rockville Pike Disclaimer. Prolonged fever in children: review of 100 cases. The site is secure. In conclusion, we reported on the prevalence, risk factors, cytokine profiles, and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 who had saddleback or prolonged fever. There was progression of infiltrates on the CXR for 72.2% (13/18) of cases with prolonged fever and 38.5% (5/13) in those with saddleback fever. Disclaimer. Repeat laboratory investigations and CXR were done for those with prolonged or saddleback fever and collected. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to evaluate for differences in paired samples. People who wish to treat a fever can try over-the-counter anti-fever medications, such as acetaminophen, aspirin, or ibuprofen. McClung HJ. JAMA Intern Med. PLoS Negl Trop Dis. We wish to thank members of the Singapore Immunology Network Wilson How, Norman Leo Fernandez, Olaf Rtzschke, and Bernett Lee for their assistance with the multiplex microbead-based immunoassays and data analyses. 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. 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]. Roseola symptoms might include: Fever. Cases with prolonged fever were defined as patients with fever lasting >7 days. Hirata K, Watanabe K, Sasaki T, Yoshimasu T, Shimomura A, Ando N, Yanagawa Y, Mizushima D, Teruya K, Kikuchi Y, Oka S, Tsukada K. Oxf Med Case Reports. In particular, fever was reported in about 72%98.6% of patients, usually lasting <7 days [4, 710]. Patient information: See related handout on fever of unknown origin in adults, written by the authors of this article. Comparisons between prolonged fever and nonprolonged fever group are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. Depending on clinical clues, this may include liver, lymph node, temporal artery, or bone marrow biopsy. Epub 2022 Aug 11. Prolonged fever was also associated with lower platelet count and higher CRP compared with controls. -. [The] lower IP-10 level [with saddleback fever] is consistent with the finding that saddleback fever cases tend to have better clinical outcomes than prolonged fever cases, they noted. But there are some important differences. 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. Emadi A, Chua JV, Talwani R, Bentzen SM, Baddley J. Eleven patients with prolonged fever, 8 patients with saddleback fever and 56 patients with fever lasting 7 days (controls) were evaluated at the first time point of blood sample collection upon hospitalization (median of 6 days postillness onset) (Figure 1A). In patients who have a fever of unknown origin with an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and/or C-reactive protein levels, and who have not received a diagnosis after initial evaluation, 18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography scan with or without computed tomography may be useful in reaching a diagnosis. However, there were no significant differences in the admission laboratory values between the control and saddleback fever groups. 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. If noninvasive diagnostic tests are unrevealing, then the invasive test of choice is a tissue biopsy because of the relatively high diagnostic yield. A more recent qualitative definition requires only a reasonable diagnostic evaluation. . 2021 Mar 8;9(1):E181-E188. Home or community isolation facilities and the other iterations for positive cases are commonly used globally to isolate positive patients [34, 35]. bOnly 1 sample of paired values available. doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofx133. Prevalence and Predictors of Persistent Symptoms After Clearance of SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A Multicenter Study from Egypt. Nature. 2 A diagnosis of classic KD is made in patients with prolonged fever (five or more days) and four or more of the following principal . We also excluded 4 patients whose fever pattern did not fulfill the case definition for prolonged or saddleback fever. Biphasic Zika Illness With Rash and Joint Pain. All authors have submitted the ICMJE Form for Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest. The author(s) received no specific funding for this work. 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.

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). Higher respiratory rate, lower SpO2, and lower systolic BP were also associated with saddleback fever compared with the control group. Clin Pediatr (Phila) 1977; 16:768. 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. In hypoxic conditions, it can trigger the expression of chemokines that attract neutrophils and monocytes to the ischemic tissue [31]. There was no difference in types of diagnoses for those who met the strict 1991 definition compared with those who received a diagnosis in less than three weeks.10 Therefore, FUO may be assumed when no reasonable diagnosis is reached after an appropriate inpatient or outpatient investigation.2,6,1017 Table 1 compares the evolution of the definition of FUO.2,3,6,7,1017, Other subtypes of FUO are nosocomial, neutropenic, and human immunodeficiency virusassociated.7 These subtypes have different approaches to evaluation and are beyond the scope of this article.17, The etiologies of FUO have changed over time because of shifting disease patterns and new diagnostic techniques.14 There are more than 200 diseases in the differential diagnosis.4,15,17 In multiple case series, however, the etiology of FUO is limited to several dozen causes, and patients often have an atypical presentation of a common disease.2,6,18. 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]. Moreover, cases with prolonged fever also showed significantly higher plasma levels of inflammatory biomarkers such as interleukin (IL)-6 (p<0.01), IL-1RA (p<0.05), and induced protein-10 (IP-10; p<0.001) compared with controls during the early acute disease phase. Although there are more than 200 diseases in the differential diagnosis, most cases in adults are limited to several dozen possible causes. Geneva: World Health Organization, Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases, Geneva: 2000. For most people, a temperature of 98.6 F or 37 C is baseline. Print 2021 Jan-Mar. Cases with prolonged fever were defined as patients with fever lasting >7 days. Department of Infectious Diseases, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Correspondence: Deborah H. L. Ng, MBChB, MRCP(UK), MSc, MPH, Department of Infectious Diseases, Centre for Healthcare Innovation, 18 Jalan Tan Tock Seng, Singapore 308443 (. Adverse outcomes were hypoxia, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, mechanical ventilation, and mortality. Mallhi TH, Khan AH, Adnan AS, Sarriff A, Khan YH, Jummaat F. BMC Infect Dis. Common causes of FUO are listed in Table 2.6,1523 Typical subgroups used in the differential for classical FUO are infection (20% to 40%), malignancy (20% to 30%), noninfectious inflammatory diseases (10% to 30%), miscellaneous (10% to 20%), and undiagnosed (up to 50%).1,46,1418,2224 Noninfectious inflammatory diseases commonly include connective tissue diseases, vasculitides, and granulomatous diseases.16,17 In developed countries, the noninfectious inflammatory diseases and undiagnosed groups comprise a higher proportion of FUO cases.5,10,15,17 Underdeveloped countries have higher rates of infection and neoplasm.6,24 Drug fever is implicated in 1% to 3% of FUO cases16 (Table 320,21,25,26 ).
