电惊厥治疗(ECT)是许多精神疾病的有效且安全的治疗方法。在一般的医疗实践中,ECT可能会像大多数其他治疗方法一样引起副作用。头痛,肌痛,恶心,呕吐,混乱,顺行性健忘症是电惊厥治疗的常见副作用。发烧;除了感染等一般医疗条件外,恶性肿瘤,结缔组织疾病,药物治疗,恶性高热,抽搐,它也可能是由于诸如抗精神病药恶性综合征(NMS),血清素综合征,紧张症,恶性紧张症,在精神病学诊所经常遇到。在文学中,已经描述了由于电惊厥治疗应用引起的短暂发热反应,尽管很少。虽然有许多提出的机制出现发烧反应,不管原因是什么,仍然不明白为什么会发生一些发烧反应。在这篇文章中,我们提出了发热反应的鉴别诊断,可能的原因,以及在诊断为紧张性精神分裂症的病例中,可能揭示对电惊厥治疗的继发性发热反应的机制,他们在电惊厥治疗期间出现发热反应,除了电惊厥治疗之外,没有观察到发热反应。在这种情况下,在排除电惊厥治疗后可能引起发热反应的其他医疗条件后,考虑了与电惊厥治疗相关的术后良性发热反应.关键词:ECT,发烧,Catatonia,NMS。
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective and safe treatment method for many psychiatric disorders. In general medical practice, ECT may cause side effects as most other treatment methods do. Headache, myalgia, nausea, vomiting, confusion, anterograde amnesia are common side effects of electroconvulsive therapy. Fever; in addition to general medical conditions such as infection, malignancy, connective tissue diseases, drug treatments, malignant hyperthermia, convulsions, it can also occur due to conditions such as neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), serotonin syndrome, catatonia, malignant catatonia, which are frequently encountered in psychiatry clinics. In the literature, transient fever response due to electroconvulsive therapy application have been described, albeit rarely. Although there are many proposed mechanisms for the emergence of a fever response, regardless of its cause, it is still not understood why some fever responses occur. In this article, we present the differential diagnosis of the fever response, possible causes, and the mechanisms that may reveal the secondary fever response to electroconvulsive therapy in a
case with a diagnosis of catatonic schizophrenia, who developed a fever response during electroconvulsive therapy sessions and no fever response was observed at times other than electroconvulsive therapy sessions. In this
case, postictal benign fever response associated with electroconvulsive therapy was considered after excluding other medical conditions that may cause a fever response after electroconvulsive therapy. Keywords: ECT, Fever, Catatonia, NMS.
