The effect of age on fever response among nursing home residents with SARS-COV-2 infection. Aging Clinical and Experimental Research. 2022 Mar 1; 34(3):691-693.
Over 15,000 veterans in 135 VA nursing homes were systematically tested for SARS-CoV-2 and had daily temperatures assessed from March to August, 2020. Lower baseline temperatures, and in SARS-CoV-2+?, lower maximum temperatures were observed with advancing age. Clinicians should be aware of the potential diminished fever response in the elderly with SARS-CoV-2.
