dc.description.abstractIntroduction: The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a common but nonspecific test that is often used as an indicator of active disease. Infection of dental origin may be responsible for a number of cases in unresolved elevated ESR and fever etiology. Dental sepsis is the one of the potential causes of persistent fever that can escape detection. Clinical Picture: An 18-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency room with complaints of headache, fever, nausea, and vomiting for the past four days. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 110 mm/h. She was started empirically on antibiotic treatment as no etiology was found. Four days later, while searching for the etiology of the fever, the patient experienced an acute pain in association with localizing symptoms in two decayed teeth. Oral examination revealed abscess formation in both teeth. Treatment. Teeth were extracted and ESR was decreased to 95 mm/h on the day of the second extraction and to 60,35, and 10 mm/h taken weekly. Outcome: During the follow-up, she was in good health with no fever seen 3 months after treatment and her ESR was 15 mm/h. Conclusion: Dental infection should be considered as an unusual but very treatable cause of pyrexia of unknown origin.en_US
