An episode of hyperthermia is not uncommon during pregnancy. The consequences depend on the extent of temperature elevation, its duration, and the stage of development when it occurs. Mild exposures during the preimplantation period and more severe exposures during embryonic and fetal development often...
The definition of fever is an elevation in body temperature or a high body temperature. Technically, any body temperature above the normal oral measurement of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 Celsius) or the normal rectal temperature of 99 F (37.2 C) is considered elevated. However, these are averag...
The management ofdengue feverduring pregnancy is mainly by supportive and symptomatic treatment, including uterine tocolysis if necessary. If indicated, antipyretic therapy with acetaminophen (paracetamol) is recommended. However, a recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial demonstrated that u...
Colchicinetoxicity may be encountered inglomerular filtration rate(GFR)<25mL/min, concomitant use ofCYP3A4inhibitors or competitors (such as clarithromycin), or P-gp inhibitors/competitors (such as cyclosporine). Treatment with colchicine may be continued during pregnancy andlactation. ...
Researchers have known for decades that fevers in the first trimester of pregnancy increase risk for some heart defects and facial deformities such as cleft lip or palate. Exactly how this happens is unclear. Scientists have debated whether a virus or ot
The chapter begins with the definition of fever as a body temperature of 1 °C (1.8 °F) or greater above the mean at the site of temperature recording. For example, the range of body temperature at the axilla is 34.7–37.4 °C, with a...

This happens because the body is trying to maintain its higher temperature. Many people alternate between feeling hot and feeling chills. This alternating hot and cold feeling is a strong clue that you have a fever.A fever is a part of the body’s natural defense system. The higher body ...
