Overview
Faget's sign is the unusual constellation of fever and bradycardia.
Pathophysiology
In general, fever is accompanied by tachycardia rather than bradycardia. In fact, for each increase in temperature of one degree Fahrenheit, there is a commensurate increase in the heart rate of 10 beats/min. This relationship between increase in temperature and increase in heart rate is known as Liebermeister's rule.[1] When fever is associated with bradyacrdia it is refered to as the Faget's sign.
Historical Perspective
Feget's sign is named after Jean Charles Faget, who characterized it in 1859.[2][3]
Causes
Common Causes
Faget's sign is often seen in yellow fever.
- Brucellosis
- Chlamydia[4]
- Colorado tick fever virus
- Coxiella burnetii
- Dengue Fever[5]
- Drug fever (eg, Beta-blockers)
- Legionella[4][6]
- Leptospirosis
- Leishmaniasis
- Mycoplasma[4]
- Psittacosis
- Tularemia
- Typhoid fever
- Yellow Fever[1][7]
