50. Fever in the ICU

We see fever every day in the ICU but what’s the best approach to diagnosis and when do we need to go on a Zebra hunt? In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Luis Tatem, a physician triple-boarded in Internal Medicine, Infectious Diseases, and Critical Care — plus certified in Tropical Medicine from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. We explore the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to fever in the ICU, including practical pearls for evaluating fevers in patients returning from global travel. We then walk through high-yield case vignettes that illustrate diseases like malaria, dengue, typhoid, leptospirosis, and more.
