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

發燒史(fever history)

1. 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
2. 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
3. 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
4. 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.
5. 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
6. 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
