However, little is known about this impact in Portuguese-speaking people. Methods: 305 Portuguese and Brazilian participants who identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and other sexual and gender identities (LGBTQIA+) completed an online survey comprising sociodemographic questions, a set of scales to assess psychological distress, and a set of scales to assess occupational well-being.

Fever, an important sign, is often reported. Such lack of evidence hampers clinical reasoning and may contribute to delayed diagnosis of important conditions. Objective: To review existing evidence underlying the association between primary tooth eruption and fever.
