About the diagnostic value of the pyramidon test for subfebrile condition

Abstract

The pyramidon test was proposed by Gollo (1918) for the differential diagnosis of infectious subfebrile condition from non-infectious subfebrile condition. When conducting a sample, the patient observes bed rest for three days, does not take any medications or medical procedures. On these days, the temperature is measured from 6 to 18 hours. hourly. On the second day of the test, with each temperature measurement, the patient takes 20 ml of a 0.5% aqueous solution of pyramidon, and only at 6 o'clock. in the morning he takes 60 ml of the same solution. Gollo believed that under the influence of the pyramidon, the temperature decreases if it is of an infectious origin.
