45
Q

what does typhoid fever rash look like

A

sparse rose spots and petechial lesions

46
Q

mechanism of fever

A

fever is due to an elevated set point

  1. exogenous pyrogen binds to monocyte, macrophage or lymphocyte
  2. causes release of endogenous pyrogens (cytokines TNF alpha, IL1, IFN-gamma)
  3. endogenous pyrogens bind to endothelial cells near PREOPTIC HYPOTHALAMUS in leaky circumventricular organ (OVLT)
  4. endothelial cells synthesize prostaglandin E2 and NO
  5. PGE2 diffuses into preoptic hypothalamus and decreases the firing rate of warm sensitive neurons, increases the firing rate of cold sensitive neurons
  6. this increases the set point
47
