Febrile (internal temperature ≥101.3°F or 38.5°C) (no = 0, yes = 1) Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (<70% = 0, 70-84% = 1, ≥85% = 2) White blood cell count (<10×10 9 /L = 0, 10-14.9×10 9 /L = 1, ≥15×10 9 /L = 2)
Rarely a fever may trigger a febrile seizure, with this being more common in young children. [4] Fevers do not typically go higher than 41 to 42 °C (106 to 108 °F). [6] A fever can be caused by many medical conditions ranging from non-serious to life-threatening. [13]
Febrile neutropenia or neutropenic fever is a defined as a single oral temperature value of ≥ 38.3 C (101 F) or a temperature ≥ 38 C (100.4 F) for ≥ 1 hour, with an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1500 cell/microliter. [1] In case of severe neutropenia, the ANC is < 500 cell/microliter. [1]
Brazilian purpuric fever (BPF) is an illness of children caused by the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae biogroup aegyptius which is ultimately fatal due to sepsis. BPF was first recognized in the São Paulo state of Brazil in 1984.
The case definition of Brazilian Purpuric Fever is as follows: An acute illness in a child aged between 3 months to 10 years characterized by: Fever of 101.3 °F (38.5 °C) or higher; Abdominal pain and/or vomiting; Development of petechiae and/or purpura; No evidence of meningitis
Since 1982, STP has been defined as a temperature of 273.15 K (0 °C, 32 °F) and an absolute pressure of exactly 1 bar (100 kPa, 10 5 Pa). NIST uses a temperature of 20 °C (293.15 K, 68 °F) and an absolute pressure of 1 atm (14.696 psi, 101.325 kPa). [3] This standard is also called normal temperature and pressure (abbreviated as NTP).
Rheumatic fever primarily affects children between ages 5 and 17 years and occurs approximately 20 days after strep throat. In up to a third of cases, the underlying strep infection may not have caused any symptoms. [citation needed] The rate of development of rheumatic fever in individuals with untreated strep infection is estimated to be 3%.
