Osteoporosis affects a large number of patients and has a major functional impact on daily activities. The intake of bisphosphonates, reduce bone resorption with clinical benefits and limited adverse effects. The acute phase reaction is one dosedependent side effect of this drug, it is characterized by one febrile syndrome including myalgias with a good response to analgesics. The authors present one patient who, after taking bisphosphonates, started fever, headaches and myalgias, which disappeared after suspension. Being this an unusual adverse effect, it is important to stay alert to these reactions, which are an exclusion diagnosis and should not be forgotten.
