  2. Hyperbilirubinemia in adults - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbilirubinemia_in_adults

    Unlike neonates, hyperbilirubinemia itself requires no treatment in adults. Instead, treatment varies by underlying diseases. As mentioned, cholelithiasis is the most common cause of hyperbilirubinemia. Gallstones can be removed using acid or shock waves in litholytic therapy and lithotripsy, respectively.

    The treatment of choice is penicillin, and the duration of treatment is around 10 days. [23] Antibiotic therapy (using injected penicillin) has been shown to reduce the risk of acute rheumatic fever. [24] In individuals with a penicillin allergy, erythromycin, other macrolides, and cephalosporins have been shown to be effective treatments. [25]

    Hyperthermia requires treatment. [2] Fever is one of the most common medical signs. [2] It is part of about 30% of healthcare visits by children [2] and occurs in up to 75% of adults who are seriously sick. [11] While fever evolved as a defense mechanism, treating a fever does not appear to improve or worsen outcomes.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centor_criteria

    The Centor criteria are a set of criteria which may be used to identify the likelihood of a bacterial infection in patients complaining of a sore throat. They were developed as a method to quickly diagnose the presence of Group A streptococcal infection or diagnosis of streptococcal pharyngitis in "adult patients who presented to an urban emergency room complaining of a sore throat."

  6. Liebermeister's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebermeister's_rule

    Liebermeister's rule concerns the increment ratio between an adult individual's cardiac frequency and temperature when in fever. Each Celsius grade of body temperature increment corresponds to an 8 beats per minute increase in cardiac frequency, although the exact number of this rule varies significantly across different sources.

    Fever can be a result of drug resistance (but in that case the organism must be resistant to two or more of the drugs). Fever may be due to a superadded infection or additional diagnosis (patients with TB are not exempt from getting influenza and other illnesses during the course of treatment). In a few patients, the fever is due to drug allergy.

  8. Antipyretic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipyretic

    An antipyretic (/ ˌ æ n t i p aɪ ˈ r ɛ t ɪ k /, from anti-'against' and pyretic 'feverish') is a substance that reduces fever. [1] Antipyretics cause the hypothalamus to override a prostaglandin-induced increase in temperature. [citation needed] The body then works to lower the temperature, which results in a reduction in fever.
