Body Temperature
• “Core Temperature”
– Aortic blood temperature
– Esophageal temperature
– Tympanic membrane temperature
• Clinical Approximates
– Sublingual (oral) temperature = 0.7o F < core
– Axillary temperature
= 1.8o F < core
– Rectal temperature
= 0.9o F > core
Normal Thermoregulation
•
Afferent Sensing
•
Central Integration
•
Efferent Responses
– Cold receptors –> A delta fibers
– Warm receptors –> C fibers
– Integrated in spinal cord and CNS –> hypothalamus
– 20% each contribution from: skin, deep chest and abdomen, spinal
cord, CNS, hypothalamus
– Skin input predominates behavioral responses
– Cold and warm response thresholds only 0.4º apart
– Behavioral (clothing, adjusting environment)
– Response to heat: sweat, cutaneous dilation
– Response to cold: digital vasoconstriction (–agonism)
Nonshivering thermogenesis (–agonism)
Shivering

Afebrile Infections in the Elderly
• Incidence
–
–
–
–
Bacteremia 5–31%
Endocarditis 7–21%
Pneumonia 20–56%
Meningitis
41%
• Mechanisms
– Technical “pseudo-euthermia”
• Poorly taken oral/axillary temps
– Chronic antipyretic drug ingestion
– Behavioral changes
– Physiologic changes
•
•
•
•
•
Decreased BMR
Late, less efficient shivering

Decreased temperature perception
Decreased production of endogenous pyrogens

Antipyretic Drugs
•
Cyclo–oxygenase (COX) Inhibitors
– Acetaminophen
• Poor peripheral activity
– 0.02% as active as indomethacin
• In CNS oxidized by p450 to potent inhibitor of PGE2 synthesis
– 10% as active as indomethacin
•
•
– Acetylsalacyclic acid (ASA)
– Other NSAIDs
Corticosteroids
– Inhibit phospholipase A2 –> PGE2 synthesis
– Block mRNA transcription of pyrogenic cytokines
Phenothiazines
– Block peripheral vasoconstriction
“Two critical assumptions are made when prescribing antipyretic
therapy. One is that fever is, at least in part, noxious, and the other
is that suppression of fever will reduce, if not eliminate, the
noxious effects of fever. At present, neither assumption has been
validated experimentally”.
Mackowiak, P: CID 31(Supple 5): S185–9, 2000.
The Downside of Antipyresis
•
•
•
•
•
The febrile state is beneficial to the host
Fever is rarely harmful
Fever is a useful parameter to follow response to Rx
Intermittent defervescence is uncomfortable
Animal studies
– decreased survival if febrile response to infection is
ablated1–5
• Human studies
– slower healing of varicella6 and longer duration of
malaria7 infection if antipyretics are given

Fever vs. Hyperthermia
• Fever
– Hypothalamic set–point increased by cytokines
– Peripheral mechanisms generate and conserve heat
– Response to antipyretics
• Hyperthermia
– Hypothalamic set–point is normal
– Peripheral mechanisms fail to match set–point
– No response to antipyretics
