KROK 1 2013 – Question 50 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathophysiology
A patient with lobar pneumonia has had body temperature of 39°C with daily temperature fluctuation of no more than 1°C for 9 days. This fever can be characterized by the following temperature curve:
- A. Recurrent
- B. Persistent
- C. Hyperpyretic
- D. Remittent
- E. Hectic
Hint
Decide the curve from how widely the temperature swings within 24 hours and whether readings ever return to normal, rather than from how high the peak is.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
