This often marks the onset of a fever and may be followed by a feeling of heat, with copious sweating.If prolonged, it is generally accompanied by fever, and may be a sign of the onset of some acute disease such as influenza, pneumonia, or some internal inflammation. Rigor mortis is the name given to the stiffness that ensues soon after death.A sudden paroxysmal shaking chill occurring during a febrile illness. Onset of rigors during a febrile illness.
