DRUG FEVER!

DRUG FEVER!
Drug fever is a disorder characterized by a febrile response coinciding temporally with the administration of a drug in the absence of underlying conditions that can be responsible for the fever.A key feature that differenciates drug fever from fever of other causes is that it disappears once the offending drug is discontinued.
Drug fever tends to be a diagnosis of exclusion,often suspected in patients with otherwise unexplained fevers.A wide variety of agents can cause drug fever.However ,the list of drugs that are most frequently implicated is rather short and includes antimicrobials ,anticonvulsants ,antiarrhytmic agents,and other cardiac agents.
