Energy

Energy: Fever is characterized by elevation of BMR, thus caloric requirements are increased.. The increase in caloric needs is dependent on severity of infection and degree of rise of temperature. During fevers there is a decrease in appetite, as well as, a decreased tolerance due to enteric infection, thus a desired increase in calories is 10-20% above the normal recommended requirements. The actual intake can be adjusted and give as per patients' tolerance.
