常常碰到tumor fever的病人,有一些症狀,如fever找不到原因(FUO)、流汗,我們就會考慮是不是tumor fever,然後就給Naproxen 0.5 tab BID使用。
以下為相關EBM資料:
1. 首先,正名,其該稱為「Neoplastic Fever」
2. 建立診斷,至少有六種相關症狀:
(1)temperature >37.88C at least once daily
(2)fever duration >2 weeks
(3)no evidence of infection (by physical examination, laboratory investigations, or imaging studies)
(4)no allergic mechanisms
(5)no response of fever to empiric antibiotics for 7 days
(6)Naproxen test resulting in complete lysis of fever, which ismaintained while on naproxen
3. 建立劑量:
naproxen 375mg orally every 12 hours for a period of 36 hours
==> 但臨床上都是用Naproxen 125mg BID
4. 是不是有其他藥物:
selective COX-2 inhibitors may be used in patients at risk for gastrointestinal toxicity and those with thrombocytopenia
