Fever Toxic-Resorptive

Toxic-resorptive fever is a condition that occurs as a result of the entry into the blood of toxic substances formed at the site of inflammation or necrosis.

The causes of the development of toxic-resorptive fever can be:

1. Inflammatory processes (pneumonia, pyelonephritis, appendicitis, etc.)

2. Necrotic processes (myocardial infarction, stroke, gangrene, etc.)

3. Tumor processes

4. Injuries

5. Burns

In these conditions, tissue breakdown occurs, releasing toxins (bacterial endotoxins, tissue breakdown products), which are then absorbed into the blood and cause a febrile reaction.

Clinically, toxic-resorptive fever is manifested by increased body temperature, chills, weakness, and headache. The temperature curve is remitting in nature with large daily fluctuations.

The diagnosis is made based on the clinical picture and identification of a focus of inflammation or necrosis, which is a source of toxins.

Treatment consists of eliminating the cause of fever - eliminating the source of inflammation or necrosis. Antipyretic drugs are also prescribed to relieve fever.
