Chills
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Rigor ICD-10 R50.0
ICD-9 780.64
MeSH D023341
"Chills" redirects here. For the New Zealand rock band, see The Chills.

Rigor is a shaking occurring during a high fever. It occurs because cytokines and prostaglandins are released as part of an immune response and increase the set point for body temperature in the hypothalamus.

It is sometimes considered a synonym for "chills".[1]

Reference: Escalofrío

Reference information:
Rigor en inglés se refiere tanto al escalofrío (como manifestación patológica que puede preceder a la fiebre) como a la rigidez muscular (como fenómeno fisiológico consecuencia de la coagulación de la proteína muscular). Por otra parte, la base de datos de The InterActive Terminology for Europe (IATE) registra "escalofrío" como traducción de "rigor". Ya que el texto incluye "rigor" entre otas reacciones sistémicas (adversas) como, por ejemplo, la fiebre y el dolor de cabeza, pareciera que "escalofrío" pudiera ser el término más exacto. Si persiste la duda, quizá la única forma de desambigüar definitivamente "rigor" en este contexto sería consultando al cliente, ¿no?
