title: [Hyperthermia during parenteral nutrition].
abstract: In a woman with caustic burn of the oesophagus total parenteral nutrition (3000 calories, 16 g nitrogen daily) resulted in a rise in body temperature from 37 to 39 degrees C. Temperature returned to normal when nutrition was discontinued to rise again when it was resumed. No infection or other cause of fever was detected. This case suggests that high calorie and nitrogen parenteral nutrition may induce hyperthermia, the possible mechanisms of which are discussed.
