Nov 1, 2016 · Fever—defined as ‘a state of elevated core temperature which is often, but not necessarily, part of the defensive responses of a multicellular organism (the host) to the invasion of live (microorganisms) or inanimate matter recognized as pathogenic or alien to the host’.
Therefore this review will focus on fever as an important variable to be considered in infectious diseases research, focusing especially on studies that reported how pyrexia can affect on the one hand the host immune response , and on the other hand the pathogen response.

May 9, 2019 · 1 Introduction. Pyrexia (fever) refers to an abnormal increase in temperature occurring under central nervous system control as a component of a co-ordinated biological response. The average normal temperature is usually quoted as 37 °C (98.6 °F) [ 1, 2 ], a value arrived at following research conducted in the 1800s.
