Hematoma as a cause of a febrile and inflammatory response after tibial fractures.
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent)
July 2020
Article Synopsis
- A child with bilateral tibial fractures developed significant hematomas and experienced four days of fever, shown by high C-reactive protein and sedimentation rates.
- As infections and blood clots were ruled out, the fever was linked to the hematomas.
- The inflammation and fever were likely caused by the release of pyrogenic cytokines from the hematomas, which are known to trigger a noninfectious fever response.
