In addition to a large variety of somatic symptoms, fever also affects cognition, sleep, and mood. In an online survey with 164 participants, 100 fever dream reports were submitted. Fever dreams were more bizarre and more negatively toned and included more references to health and temperature perception compared to "normal" most recent dreams - findings that are in line with the continuity hypothesis of dreaming. Future studies should follow up this line of research by conducting diary studies during naturally occurring febrile illnesses and sleep laboratory studies with experimentally induced fever. It would also be very interesting to study the effect of thermal stimulation applied during sleep on dream content. This research helps to understand subjective experiences while sleeping in an extreme condition (elevated body temperature).

Article Synopsis
- Listeriosis, an infection caused by Listeria monocytogenes, can lead to a rare form called spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, which was the focus of a nationwide study using data from France between 1993 and 2022.
- The study included 208 patients diagnosed with L monocytogenes-associated peritonitis and found that most were older males with significant immunosuppressive health issues, particularly cirrhosis and alcoholism.
- The symptoms were often mild or vague, with only half of the patients showing common signs like fever or abdominal pain, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing this condition.

Background: Recurrent or refractory solid and central nervous system (CNS) tumours in paediatric patients have limited treatment options and carry a poor prognosis. The EnGeneIC Dream Vector (EDV) is a novel nanocell designed to deliver cytotoxic medication directly to the tumour. The epidermal growth factor receptor is expressed in several CNS and solid tumours and is the target for bispecific antibodies attached to the EDV.
