A member asked:

Which type of brain damage can result for a fever over 104 for 11days in an adult?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Lotfi Hacein-Bey answered

Specializes in Radiology

Unpredictable: If there are no symptoms, it is likely that there is no permanent damage, as the adult brain is more resistant than a child's. If there are seizures, weakness, numbness, or severe headaches, an evaluation with MRI should be conducted.
