Description

Hannah, Avi and Tony examine why we feel cold while febrile (shouldn't we feel hot?) and can develop shaking chills/rigors. The answer has implications for why rigors may be a more timely predictor of active bacteremia than fevers.  You can read the show notes for this episode on our website.  Don't forget to pick up your CME/MOC credits, courtesy of VCU Health!
