Difference between Fever and Serotonin syndrome

Fever vs. Serotonin syndrome

Fever, also known as pyrexia and febrile response, is defined as having a temperature above the normal range due to an increase in the body's temperature set-point. Serotonin syndrome (SS) is a group of symptoms that may occur following use of certain serotonergic medications or drugs.

Similarities between Fever and Serotonin syndrome

Fever and Serotonin syndrome have 20 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adrenaline, Antipyretic, Autonomic nervous system, Blood pressure, Cocaine, Disease, Drug overdose, Heat stroke, Hyperthermia, Hypothalamus, Malignant hyperthermia, Meningitis, Neuroleptic malignant syndrome, Norepinephrine, Perspiration, Rhabdomyolysis, Shivering, Substituted amphetamine, Thermoregulation, Vasoconstriction.

Adrenaline

Adrenaline, also known as adrenalin or epinephrine, is a hormone, neurotransmitter, and medication.

Antipyretic

Antipyretics (from anti- 'against' and 'feverish') are substances that reduce fever.

Autonomic nervous system

The autonomic nervous system (ANS), formerly the vegetative nervous system, is a division of the peripheral nervous system that supplies smooth muscle and glands, and thus influences the function of internal organs.

Blood pressure

Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.

Drug overdose

The term drug overdose (or simply overdose or OD) describes the ingestion or application of a drug or other substance in quantities greater than are recommended or generally practiced.

Heat stroke

Heat stroke, also known as sun stroke, is a type of severe heat illness that results in a body temperature greater than and confusion.

Hyperthermia

Hyperthermia is elevated body temperature due to failed thermoregulation that occurs when a body produces or absorbs more heat than it dissipates.

Hypothalamus

The hypothalamus(from Greek ὑπό, "under" and θάλαμος, thalamus) is a portion of the brain that contains a number of small nuclei with a variety of functions.

Malignant hyperthermia

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a type of severe reaction that occurs to particular medications used during general anesthesia, among those who are susceptible.

Meningitis

Meningitis is an acute inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges.

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a life-threatening reaction that occasionally occurs in response to neuroleptic or antipsychotic medication.

Norepinephrine

Norepinephrine (NE), also called noradrenaline (NA) or noradrenalin, is an organic chemical in the catecholamine family that functions in the brain and body as a hormone and neurotransmitter.

Perspiration

Perspiration, also known as sweating, is the production of fluids secreted by the sweat glands in the skin of mammals.

Shivering

Shivering (also called shuddering) is a bodily function in response to cold in warm-blooded animals.

Substituted amphetamine

Substituted amphetamines are a class of compounds based upon the amphetamine structure; it includes all derivative compounds which are formed by replacing, or substituting, one or more hydrogen atoms in the amphetamine core structure with substituents.

Thermoregulation

Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries, even when the surrounding temperature is very different.

Vasoconstriction

Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels resulting from contraction of the muscular wall of the vessels, in particular the large arteries and small arterioles.

Fever and Serotonin syndrome Comparison

Fever has 201 relations, while Serotonin syndrome has 182. As they have in common 20, the Jaccard index is 5.22% = 20 / (201 + 182).
