“…In some reports, Kikuchi disease (2,9,29,50,54,57) and Crohn's disease are classified as part of the miscellaneous group (6,21,37,(55)(56)(57)59), and in other reports, Kikuchi disease (5,49) and Crohn's disease (11,33,39) are in the NIIDs group. Discussions can further expand to whether subacute thyroiditis, autoimmune hepatitis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis from the miscellaneous group can be transferred to the NIIDs group (8,60) and if Crohn's disease (52) and Hashimoto thyroiditis (48) should be considered granulomatous diseases.…”

Despite the great advancements seen in medicine in recent years, fever of unknown origin (FUO) remains a serious diagnostic challenge. Regardless of the etiological elucidation in many cases of FUO and the progress seen in the management of these patients, there are currently many weaknesses in this area as a result of inconsistency in the definition and interpretation of key terminology and the utilization of different definitions and classifications. As a result, there is confusion among medical practitioners about FUO, which leads to laborious and difficult comparisons among different case series. This study outlines the mismatch in terminology and diversity found in the classification of the conditions that cause FUO and emphasizes the discrepancies between what some terminology intends to represent and what it actually represents in reality. Thus, we attempted to determine an appropriate solution for established inconsistencies.

“…In older individuals, bacteremia [3], endocarditis [4,5], pneumonia [6,7], and meningitis [8] often present with low-grade fever when compared to younger individuals. Infectious diseases are the most frequent nosogeny of fever; other causes being chronic in ammatory collagen diseases, tumors, and drug-related fevers [9,10]. A previous study reported that the proportion of severe infectious diseases is higher in older individuals than in younger individuals, and is associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality [11].…”

Background Infectious diseases including aspiration pneumonia are the most frequent causes of fever, common in older residents of nursing homes. We investigated whether swallowing dysfunction was related to fever in such residents. Methods Older residents aged ≥ 65 years from three nursing homes were included in this prospective study conducted from July 2017 to May 2019. The follow-up period was 13 months. The outcome was fever incidence in relation to swallowing function. Baseline data on the activities of daily living, cognitive function, swallowing function, respiratory function, tongue pressure, and comorbidity conditions were collected. Dates on which the body temperature of participants was more than 37.5 °C during the follow-up period were also recorded. For statistical analysis, swallowing function assessed by the modified water swallow test (MWST) scores were used to divide the participants into three groups; scores ≤ 3, 4, and 5. Results A total of 52 participants [median age, 89.5 (67–104)] were enrolled. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the average periods until onset of fever in participants with MWST scores of ≤ 3, 4, and 5 were 8.0 (6.0–11.0), 10.0 (7.0–12.0), and 12.0 (10.0–13.0) months, respectively. Cox’s proportional hazards regression model revealed that participants with an MWST score ≤ 3 were at a higher risk of fever compared to those with an MWST score of 5 (hazards ratio 13.0, 95% confidence interval 1.9–87.6), adjusted with possible confounders. Conclusions Swallowing dysfunction correlated with the risk of fever in older residents of nursing homes.
