Acyclovir-associated fever: a case report.
Drug-induced fever has been associated with many agents. We treated a patient who developed high, spiking fevers while receiving intravenous acyclovir. Rechallenge with the drug was not attempted. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of drug-induced fever in patients who receive systemic acyclovir.
