Two cases of pyrexia of unknown origin are described in which no cause was found despite exhaustive inpatient investigation until occult dental infection was detected: extraction of the teeth involved was followed by resolution of the pyrexia. Dental infection should be considered as an unusual but eminently treatable cause of pyrexia of unknown origin.
本文描述了两例不明原因发热的病例,尽管对患者进行了全面的住院检查,但仍未找到病因,直到发现隐匿性牙齿感染:拔除相关牙齿后,发热症状得以缓解。牙齿感染应被视为不明原因发热的一种不常见但极易治疗的病因。
