Abstract

The article discusses a study on bipolar disorders, focusing on the occurrence of fever following electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Conducted at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan, the research presents a case of a 27-year-old woman with bipolar disorder who experienced multiple fever episodes post-ECT, attributed to an inflammatory response rather than infection. The study suggests that this febrile reaction may be benign and reversible, allowing for the continuation of ECT to achieve therapeutic benefits. This case may represent the first report linking ECT-induced fever to inflammatory reactions. [Extracted from the article]
