A New Perspective on Fever Diagnosis After the Coronavirus Disease-2019 Outbreak
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Intensive Care - Year 2021, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is rare in neurology practice. It may occur due to the use of high doses of antipsychotics. It requires intensive care follow-up due to its severe complications and has high mortality. Fever, rigidity, confusion, and respiratory distress are important symptoms of the condition. It is important to note that this disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with fever, especially after the coronavirus disease-2019 disease that emerged in 2019-2020, and whose fever does not decrease as an important symptom. For these reasons, we think that the presentation of this phenomenon will be useful.
