The elderly generate heat prudently
The elderly generate heat and does not obviously or generate heat when infective disease, apt to leak examined and delayed treating, thus bring about complication and mortality in the elderly and increase.
The physicians of American University of California propose warning recently: When the elderly generate heat or have urgent sudden change of the function state, must define the cause of disease as soon as possible, treat correctly as soon as possible. Because researchers find, the elderly are when infective disease through a large number of clinical observation, generate heat, generate heat obviously or, so easy to leak, examine but delay treating, thus bring about complication and mortality in the elderly and increase. If once the elderly present, generate heat, brief on and suffer from the serious infection often.
Though health per capita supreme body temperature and lowest body temperature and young man of old age do not have big difference, but weak the basal body temperature of the elderly is lower than healthy young people. 36.7 of temperature of oral cavity of the elderly's average early morning, the temperature 37.3C of rectum. The definition that the elderly generate heat refers to: The temperature of oral cavity is sustained, 37.2C, the rectum temperature is sustained, 37.5 . No matter use any thermometer on any position (the body temperature such as the armpit) Measurement, so long as the basal body temperature of specific humidity is raised, 1.3C indicates to generate heat promptly. But the one that should remember is, the elderly only find the function state has rapid changes, no matter generate heat, should consider having acutely and infect the existence.
The characteristic that the elderly generate heat still lies in: When the elderly suffer from the heart membrane inflammation, pneumonia,etc., to generate heat is lower than young people, even have quite a few of old patients of acute cholecystitis, appendicitis, stomach intestinal perforation, the body temperature is lower than 37.5C. Suffer from the elderly that infect seriously, about 20%- 30% do not generate heat or generate heat no delay of response, this is often prognostic worse manifestation. The detailed mechanism of delay of response is not so obvious that old person generate heat, may relate to increasing at age.
What most old persons waited to check generates heat and can be made a definite diagnosis of and cured. There are materials that reveal: The elderly have 25%- 35% of the causes of disease to generate heat in order to be infected with, among them the probability that tuberculosis infects is far higher than youngly into; Desmosis accounts for 25%- 31% are (such as rheumatoid and arthritis, temple arteritis) ; Malignant tumour accounts for 12%- 23%. So, the elderly will find out their reasons as soon as possible while generating heat, in order to try to get the correct treatment in time.
