Many parents administer antipyretics even when there is minimal or no fever, because they are concerned that the child must maintain a “normal” temperature. Fever, however, is not the primary illness but is a physiologic mechanism that has...

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) concentrate, transport, and release certain antimicrobial agents as they move in a chemotactic gradient. Antipyretic agents are frequently used in febrile patients receiving antimicrobial agents. Thus, the influence of ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and acetylsalicylic acid on uptake, transport, and release of azithromycin and moxifloxacin was studied. Uptake of t...

BACKGROUND There appears to be a significant increase in the prevalence rate of autism. Reasons for the increase are unknown, however, there is a substantial body of evidence that suggests the etiology involves infections of the pregnant mother or of a young child. Most infections result in fever that is routinely controlled with antipyretics such as acetaminophen. The blocking of fever inhibit...

It results from the release of endogenous pyrogens such as prostaglandins and cytokines, which act on the anterior hypothalamus to increase the body’s temperature ‘set point’ [1]. Antipyretics like paracetamol (acetaminophen) appear to work by antagonizing prostaglandins, and aresomeof the most comm...
