Most psychogenic fever patients visit pediatricians; however, such patients were seen in a wide variety of departments including psychosomatic medicine, psychiatry, and gynecology. Patients with psychogenic fever were not only found in pediatrics departments, but also in psychosomatic medicine, psychiatry, internal medicine, anesthesiology, dentistry, and obstetrics/gynecology departments. This is in part because psychological stress-associated high Tc is induced by mechanisms distinct from infection/inflammation-associated fever, where proinflammatory mediators play a pivotal role. 11 clinical sites affected include the hand sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal Hirakawa K, Nishimura R, Shiraishi K.

Next review due: 06 April 2023, your chest or back feel hotter than usual, you have other symptoms, such as shivering (chills), sweating or warm, red skin (this may be harder to see on black or brown skin), a thermometer says your temperature is 38C or above, drink plenty of fluids (water is best) to avoid dehydration drink enough so your pee is light yellow and clear, stay at home and avoid contact with other people until you do not have a high temperature. 1930;203:10341036. However, clinical case reports demonstrate that psychogenic fever is not attenuated by antipyretic drugs, but by psychotropic drugs that display anxiolytic and sedative properties, or by resolving patients' difficulties via natural means or psychotherapy.

PGE2 causes fever by inhibiting the POA neurons, i.e., by disinhibiting the HMS axis.67-69 Consequently, fever is attenuated by nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which block PGE2 synthesis (Fig. Since then, he has been conducting basic research on the mechanisms of psychogenic fever as well as seeing patients as a clinician. Like this case, some patients develop a high Tc abruptly (up to 41C) when they are exposed to emotional events. Psychogenic fever is a stress-related, psychosomatic disease especially seen in young women. Data are shown as the mean standard deviation (SD).

BAT, brown adipose tissue; SNS, sympathetic nervous system; Tc, core body temperature, UCP1, Uncoupling protein 1. 2009;71:932936. It is well known that psychological stress increases Tc in mammals [66]. Although fever is a common symptom in pediatric practice, its origin is often unknown in pediatric patients. By contrast, psychological stress increased Tc without accompanying sickness-related symptoms because it increases Tc via cytokines and PGE2-independant manner. Figure2 shows the chronic psychological stress-associated, persistent low-grade high Tc observed in a 56-year-old head rheumatology nurse. Considering these findings on the effects of chronic stress on acute PSH in animals, it is possible that the patient's difficult daily life acts as a chronic stressor, leading the patient to exhibit robust increases in Tc when she/he is exposed to emotional events. The fever diary demonstrated that she developed a high Ta up to 39C only on the days when she went to school (underlined black bar). 7), patients consider the high Tc disabling.

The clinical significance of high Tc in patients with psychogenic fever is different from PSH in healthy subjects in several ways.116 Remarkable differences include the magnitude of increase in Tc and the associated symptoms. Additionally, antianxiety or antidepression treatment should be provided. Therefore, the higher Tc may not be due to increased activity during the working day, but due to psychological strain.

PMC First, the hyperthermic response during conditioned fear does not appear to involve activation of BAT.90 Contextual conditioned fear does not induce the expression of Fos, a marker of neuronal activation, in the DMH, but does increase Fos in spinally projecting neurons in the perifornical area of the hypothalamus.91 Second, after repeated immobilization, the magnitude of the NA-induced increase in Tc, interscapular BAT temperature, and oxygen consumption become greater in stressed rats versus controls.88 As repeated immobilization stress induces interscapular BAT hyperplasia92 and increases uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), a protein that generates heat according to its expression and function30 in BAT, these changes may lead to prominent PSH (Fig. 2021 Jun 17 7 Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, Nottingham, England. 2021 The Authors.
