This review summarizes the different causes of fever of unknown origin reported in the internationally indexed literature from 1961 till 1990. In 1961 Petersdorf published his landmark report that, for the first time, proposed criteria that cases have to meet to be considered as fever of unknown origin. We only retained cases and series that met these criteria. We meticulously compared the reported case series and tried to explain the differences between these series.
One of the first to permit multiple diagnoses, this new TMD classification scheme offers guidelines for clinicians and those conducting clinical field studies. The scheme was applied to a TMD population, with control subjects.
There were 634 instances of plasmapheresis performed on 152 patients in the Kidney Center, Tokai University Hospital, in the seven year period from Jan. 1983 to Dec. 1989. The average number of plasmapheresis treatments per patient was highest for those with neurological and dermatological disease (6.7), followed by liver disease (5.6), and drug intoxication (1.2). The major treatment modalities for the liver, collagen, drug intoxication, hematologic, neurologic and hyperlipidemic disorders were plasma exchange (PE) and double filter plasmapheresis (DFPP). Recently, however, the use of plasma perfusion (PP) and immunoadsorbent plasma perfusion (IPP) has been increasing because of their ability to selectively adsorb various pathologic macromolecules.
