Fever Intermittent

Intermittent fever (f. intermittens; synonym intermittent) is a form of fever characterized by alternating periods of increased body temperature (febrile attacks) with normal or subnormal temperature (apyrexia).

Attacks of fever last from several hours to 1-2 days and are repeated at certain intervals. There are three main types of intermittent fever:

1. Everyday (quotidiana) - attacks are repeated every day at the same time.

2. Third-day (tertiana) - attacks after 48 hours.

3. Quarter-day (quartana) - attacks every 72 hours.

The most common cause of intermittent fever is malaria. Other possible causes are infections (brucellosis, leishmaniasis, tularemia), tumors, collagenoses.

To make a diagnosis, a thorough medical history, general and biochemical blood tests, and examination of blood smears to identify pathogens are required. Treatment depends on the identified cause of the fever.

Intermittent fever, also known as intermittent fever, is a serious and life-threatening illness that can lead to serious complications and even death. This disease is caused by bacteria or viruses that can enter the body through the respiratory tract or skin. Intermittent fever can be caused by a variety of causes, including infections, allergies, autoimmune diseases, and other conditions. Body temperature should not be used as a measurement.

Intermittent fever refers to diseases that are manifested by arising and disappearing periodic increases in body temperature. This disease occurs in various animals: sheep, cows, goats, pigs, rabbits, cats and dogs. Fever can also occur in children and adults. The disease has favorable trends and, according to medical statistics, the mortality rate from it does not exceed 2-3%. Most often, this disease is characterized as an acute and chronic inflammatory process caused by catarrhal phenomena in the upper respiratory tract or infectious-allergic inflammation of the mucous membrane. With this disease, patients experience minor spherophagic bruises and spots on the ears and other surfaces of the body. The febrile period is replaced by an attack of chills, when the body temperature drops sharply to 35-38 degrees Celsius, then symptoms of fever such as convulsions are observed. Tissue damage in acute cases is fraught with the development of infectious lymphadenitis. It is worth noting that attacks of chills and fever can be prolonged and recur periodically without therapy. Unfortunately, this type of disease cannot be quickly cured, but only the cause that provokes this disease can be eliminated. If you suspect symptoms of ARVI and hyperthermia increases above 38-40 degrees, it is recommended to call a doctor. If such symptoms appear, you should consult a doctor. You can find out which doctor treats intermittent fever syndromes by talking to your doctor.
