Severe Infarct CVA attack and paralysis - what causes fever?
Posted: 11-06-07 14:24pm

Hi and how are all of you? My mother got a severe CVA attack on 25 of september. The type of CVA is "Infarct". About 8 or 9 days back, she started moving her legs and feet little bit. Further more, she could also move her face and neck but she cannot speak, eat and perform ADLs(All Day Activities).

About 8 or 9 days back, she got fever and till now, the fever is still there. Sometimes it is 99, sometimes, 100 or 100.2, 100.4....101, 102. It is continuously fluctuating. It is important to mention here that we have been giving her Antibiotics like Ciprofloxicin, Clathromycine, Vencomycine during these days. Yesterday, we started giving her Cefixime. We gave her another Antibiotic as well but sorry I cannot remember its name now.

The last thing I want to mention here that when the temperature gets down to 98 or 98.4 or similar, she seems quite active, fresh and obey various commands.

The only question I have is about this Fever. Do you have any ideas about the cause of fever? Did you see anyone with similar condition? Do you think it is "Drug Fever"?

Any suggestion and ideas will be greatly greatly appreciated. I shall be very thankful to you. May God bless you.

Sincerely,

WAHAB
