Abstract
Steroid therapy is frequently used for chronic pain, particularly inflammatory pain states. Steroid withdrawal syndrome can produce a broad array of signs and symptoms, some of which are not well recognized. High fever is among these. We describe several cases with this clinical scenario and review the syndrome in broader terms.
