A 73-year-old man was initially seen with a 15-year history of intermittent fevers and had been treated for culture-negative subacute bacterial endocarditis. He had been taking potassium iodide as a bronchorrheic agent for approximately the same 15-year period, and, when potassium iodide therapy was discontinued, the fever resolved and has not recurred during 2 1/2 years of observation. The possible mechanisms of fever caused by potassium iodide and current clinical indications for potassium iodide use are described.
一名73岁男性患者最初因间歇性发热15年就诊，曾接受过血培养阴性的亚急性细菌性心内膜炎治疗。在大约相同的15年时间里，他一直服用碘化钾作为祛痰剂，当停用碘化钾治疗后，发热消退，在2年半的观察期内未再复发。本文描述了碘化钾引起发热的可能机制以及目前碘化钾的临床应用指征。
