12 No significant difference in level of fever at which antipyretics were administered (p=0.91).
As fever was common, the level of fever (>39° or ≤39° according to the median), and its duration (>or ≤ 2 days [median duration]) were added.
It is important to note that neither the level of fever, nor the response to antipyretics, is a predictive factor for the cause of fever.
The association of fever with mortality varied according to the level of fever and it was independently associated with mortality only in subgroup ≥ 39.5°C of patients without sepsis.
Despite the differences in transmissibility of the parental rgCA04/09 virus and the rgCA04/09 HA Ile219Lys mutant virus, similar virus replication kinetics, and comparable levels of fever induction and weight loss in ferrets were observed with both viruses (Table 1).
In general, the intensity of treatment or management recommendations provided by respondents increased with higher levels of fever and is inversely related to infant age.
Moreover, its association with increased survival in such patients and in patients with higher levels of fever or lower levels of illness severity, although losing significance, trended in a similar direction up to a temperature of 39°C.
For example, throughout the first year, high levels of fever, abdominal pain and abnormal vaginal discharge make vigilance for sepsis important, a major cause of maternal mortality in Africa [ 16].
Infants exposed to arsenic in utero have been reported to have impaired thymic development and higher levels of fever, diarrhea, and acute respiratory infections in early life (Rahman et al. 2011; Raqib et al. 2009).
This association was broadly consistent among various subgroups, such as surgical or medical patients, but was attenuated in patients with fever and in medical patients with an infection-related admission diagnosis, in those with higher levels of fever and in patients in the two lowest tertiles of APACHE scores.
