Nov 1, 1995 · On the basis of these studies, fever is empirically considered prognostic of poor outcome in patients with acute stroke, and there is general agreement that fever of any cause should be treated with antipyretic agents to avoid its possible deleterious consequences.

Fever occurring after stroke is associated with poor outcomes. We investigated the etiology of fever after stroke and present evidence evaluating the efficacy and safety of interventions used to treat stroke-associated fever.
Apr 14, 2015 · Fever is an adaptive response of the host to a perceived threat and is frequently encountered by healthcare professionals. Instead of being an adaptive response, in the presence of an acute neurological insult such as stroke, fever has been associated with worsened outcomes, such as larger infarct volume, higher rates of mortality, and greater ...

An ischemic stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is blocked or reduced. This prevents brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Brain cells begin to die in minutes. Another type of stroke is a hemorrhagic stroke. It occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or bursts and causes bleeding in the brain. The blood increase...
If you or someone you're with may be having a stroke, pay attention to the time the symptoms began. Some treatments are most effective when given soon after a stroke begins. Symptoms of stroke include: 1. Trouble speaking and understanding what others are saying.A person having a stroke may be confused, slur words or may not be able to understand s...
There are two main causes of stroke. An ischemic stroke is caused by a blocked artery in the brain. A hemorrhagic stroke is caused by leaking or bursting of a blood vessel in the brain. Some people may have only a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain, known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA). A TIAdoesn't cause lasting symptoms.
A stroke can sometimes cause temporary or permanent disabilities. Complications depend on how long the brain lacks blood flow and which part is affected. Complications may include: 1. Loss of muscle movement, known as paralysis.You may become paralyzed on one side of the body. Or you may lose control of certain muscles, such as those on one side of...
You can take steps to prevent a stroke. It's important to know your stroke risk factors and follow the advice of your healthcare professional about healthy lifestyle strategies. If you've had a stroke, these measures might help prevent another stroke. If you have had a transient ischemic attack (TIA), these steps can help lower your risk of a strok...

How common is fever during a stroke?
Could fever be the etiologic mechanism of a stroke?
Is fever associated with worse outcomes in patients with stroke?
Fever is an elevation of body temperature above the normal variation, which is induced by cytokine activation. Fever is often due to infection but can be associated with malignancy, inflammatory disease or other causes. In contrast, hyperthermia is an elevation in core body temperature due to thermoregulation failure.
