兒科-發燒-門診問診重要的臨床線索
尤其是不明原因發燒(fever of unknown origin, FUO)時,務必確認以下細節
節選自Uptodate:Fever of unknown origin in children: Evaluation

藥物造成的發燒

發燒史(fever history)
- 是怎麼燒的?發燒是怎麼表現的?
What is the fever pattern?- 關於fever pattern,可以參考http://teachingcenter1.pixnet.net/blog/post/71192703
- 發燒時是否呈現身體不適或其他症狀呢?例如全身無力?
Is the fever associated with ill-appearance or symptoms (eg, malaise)?- 無任何不適的發燒,須思考詐病、假燒的可能
Absence of malaise or other generalized symptoms with high fever may suggest factitious fever. - 但也需要小心長期的低溫燒,病人可能已經習慣這個狀態,沒有特別”額外”的不適感,應仔細記錄病人體溫和臨床表現
- 無任何不適的發燒,須思考詐病、假燒的可能
- 使用退燒藥可以退燒嗎?吃退燒藥有效嗎?
Does the fever respond to antipyretic agents?- 如果對退燒藥物無反應,可能不是感染或風濕性疾病,須思考自律神經功能異常的可能
Lack of response to anti-inflammatory antipyretics may suggest a cause other than infection or rheumatologic disease (eg, familial dysautonomia, ectodermal dysplasia). - 但這並不代表排除了感染和風濕性疾病,相關的詳細檢查不應該忽略,畢竟還是發燒甚至FUO的最常見原因
- 另外劑量不足(體重對劑量算錯)或退燒效果較弱的藥物(acetaminophen的退燒效果一般比ibuprofen差一些),也有可能是退燒藥無效的原因
- 如果對退燒藥物無反應,可能不是感染或風濕性疾病,須思考自律神經功能異常的可能
- 退燒之後,全身性的症狀(如乏力、嗜睡)仍然持續嗎?
Persistence of constitutional/general symptoms after fever abates?- 若持續,則會比較擔心是全身系統性的疾病,可能是嚴重感染、自體免疫等問題
Persistence is worrisome for systemic disease.
- 若持續,則會比較擔心是全身系統性的疾病,可能是嚴重感染、自體免疫等問題
- 發燒時會(大量)盜汗、冒冷汗嗎?
Is there associated sweating with fever?- 若是有,甲狀腺機能亢進務必納入鑑別診斷中
Yes: Hyperthyroidism - 若是完全不會發汗,須想到無汗外胚層發育不全(少見但不能忘掉)
No: Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia
- 若是有,甲狀腺機能亢進務必納入鑑別診斷中
- 退燒時會發汗嗎?
Is there associated sweating with defervescence?- 若退燒時完全不會發汗,假燒、詐病的可能性會提高些
No: Factitious fever
- 若退燒時完全不會發汗,假燒、詐病的可能性會提高些
