Nonito Donaire Recovering, Fever is Back Again
By Ronnie Nathanielsz
The temperature of WBA interim-super flyweight champion Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire, who was rushed to the Asian Hospital in Alabang on Thursday with a high fever which went down after medication, has gone up again.
Donaire’s wife Rachael informed us shortly after 11:00 p.m. Friday in Manila that the rashes that appeared yesterday have also increased causing some concern.
Doctors who ran a series of tests which reportedly confirmed the classy world champion had dengue will, according to Ms. Donaire, will subject her husband to more blood tests on Saturday.
Medicinenet.com says fever and other signs of dengue last for two to four days, followed by rapid drop in temperature (defervescence) with profuse sweating. This precedes a period with normal temperature and a sense of well-being that lasts about a day.
A second rapid rise in temperature, which was noted today according to Rachael Donaire, follows. A characteristic rash , which she also mentioned, appears along with the fever and spreads from the extremities to cover the entire body except the face. The palms and soles may be bright red and swollen
