Abstract

Post operative fever is a clinical presentation of varied aetiology. Although most of the times there is an obvious cause for the fever ,at times it presents with a difficult to diagnose cause of fever. Anaesthesiologists attending the patients in PACU often face this problem. Early diagnosis and management is warranted to prevent possible complications and to shorten the stay in PACU.
