The phrase "altered fever" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in medical or scientific contexts to describe a change in body temperature or a fever that has been modified in some way.
Example: "The patient exhibited altered fever patterns, which required further investigation to determine the underlying cause."
Alternatives: "modified fever" or "changed fever".
Persistent neutrophilic meningitis is a syndrome defined by: clinical meningitis (headache, altered sensorium, fever and/or meningismus) with neutrophilic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pleocytosis (differential containing >50% neutrophils), elevated protein and hypoglycorrhachia that persists for greater than 7 days despite appropriate empiric antimicrobial treatment [ 1].
Other adverse events were infrequent, occurred at similar rates between arms, and were unrelated to insulin, including fever, altered level of consciousness, arrhythmia, atypical chest pain, hematemesis, and forearm superficial thrombosis in the insulin arm and fever, altered mood, nephropathy, and pleuritic chest pain in the standard therapy arm.
Headache, fever, altered level of consciousness, nausea, vomiting, and focal neurologic deficits are common symptoms.
We defined VAP as pneumonia that occurs 48 72 h or thereafter following endotracheal intubation, characterized by the presence of a new or progressive infiltrate, signs of systemic infection (fever, altered white blood cell count), changes in sputum characteristics, and quantitative detection of a causative agent; early VAP <5 days, late VAP ≥5 days of mechanical ventilation [29].
Objective: To suggest guidelines for the prevention, recognition, and management of a life-threatening syndrome (high fever, altered mental status, profound muscular rigidity that sometimes progressed to fatal rhabdomyolysis) in patients who experience the abrupt withdrawal of intrathecal baclofen (ITB) therapy.
However, hypophosphatemia has been observed consistently in patients with conditions characterized by fever (altered hypothalamic set point) or hyperthermia (inability to dissipate a heat load), suggesting that the correlation between body temperature and serum phosphorus may not be unique to malaria.
If there was clinical suspicion of pneumonia (i.e., new cough, sputum, dyspnea, fever, altered mental status, or abnormalities of the white blood cell count or arterial blood gas), we obtained a chest radiograph and a blinded investigator performed a pulmonary examination.
Among the clinical presentation, fever, altered sensorium, seizures, headache, and vomiting was the most common symptoms observed in this study.
The most common clinical presentations were fever, altered sensorium, seizure, headache, vomiting and signs of meningeal irritation.
Initial symptoms are nonspecific, involving headaches, altered mental status, fever, and eye syndrome, lacrimation, irritation, or periorbital anesthesia.
