A fever occurs only in chronic alcoholics. The reason for her appearance is unknown. It is attributed to various circumstances (emotional excitement, frequent excesses or sudden abstinence from alcohol, acute illnesses, pneumonia, trauma).

Abstinence From Alcohol

Regular heavy consumption of alcohol is associated with a wide range of physical, psychological and social problems. All health-care clinicians should be able to screen for and detect problematic levels of alcohol consumption in their patients, and deliver an effective brief intervention. When patients with alcohol dependence are admitted to hospital there must be an assessment of whether medication is required to prevent withdrawal symptoms and potential delirium tremens and withdrawal seizures. Medically assisted alcohol withdrawal using a long-acting benzodiazepine such as chlordiazepoxide should be carefully monitored and titrated to effect, and the clinician should be aware of the risk of Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome and other complications. Abstinence from alcohol is usually only the first step in treatment, and effective linkage to community alcohol services is an important step.

Genetische Faktoren

Ziel: Gravierendste, lebensbedrohliche Komplikationen des Alkoholentzugssyndroms sind Entzugskrampfanfall und Delirium tremens. Die Übersichtsarbeit stellt die typische Symptomatik, sich aus der Anamnese ergebende Risikofaktoren, ätiologisch relevante neurobiologische Faktoren sowie den Versuch der Identifikation von Biomarkern inklusive genetischer Polymorphismen für das Delirium tremens und den Alkoholentzugskrampfanfall vor. Methodik: Es erfolgte eine systematische Literaturrecherche mit Hilfe der Datenbank Pubmed unter Auswahl aktueller Studien und Übersichtsarbeiten zu dem Thema. Ergebnisse: Aktuelle neurobiologische Modelle favorisieren eine gesteigerte glutamaterge und reduzierte GABAerge Transmission als Grundlage für eine zerebrale Hyperexzitabilität. Als Risikofaktoren für die Entstehung eines Delirium tremens und eines Entzugskrampfanfalls wurden serologische und genetische Faktoren identifiziert. Bei den genetischen Faktoren handelt es sich um Polymorphismen innerhalb von Kandidatengenen insbesondere im dopaminergen und glutamatergen Transmittersystem. Schlussfolgerungen: Neue Befunde aus dem Bereich der Neurobiologie erlauben Einblicke in die Ätiopathogenese des Alkoholentzugssyndroms und tragen zum Verständnis des Alkoholentzugskrampfanfalls und des Delirium tremens bei.

Abstinence From Alcohol

Although beer had a profound cultural, economic and religious significance among traditional societies in central Africa, teetotalism – in other words, abstinence from alcohol – has become widespread in Malawian Protestantism (as elsewhere in African Christianity), and in many churches it is regarded as a mark of true faith. This article examines the origins of the antipathy to alcohol in the Presbyterian missionaries who evangelised Malawi in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, who drew a parallel between the ‘problem of drink’ among the working poor in their home culture and central Africans, to urge sobriety and its concomitant values of thrift and hard work among their converts. Yet research shows that it was new Christians in Malawi themselves (and not the missionaries) who took the lead in making temperance or teetotalism a criterion for church membership. By drawing upon the experiences of other socially and politically marginalised groups in the British Empire at this time, it is suggested that these new Christians were likely motivated to adopt temperance/teetotalism in order to assert to foreign missionaries their ability to lead and control their own churches and countries.
