ABSTRACT:
Fever or Pyrexia, a common symptom of various medical conditions, has intrigued researchers and clinicians for centuries. This abstract provides an overview of the mechanisms underlying fever, its diverse causes, and the clinical significance it holds. Fever, primarily regulated by the hypothalamus, is a vital part of the body’s immune response to infections and other stimuli. The causes of fever range from infectious diseases to inflammatory disorders and even drug- induced reactions. Understanding the precise etiology of fever is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Furthermore, fever serves as an important clinical sign, aiding healthcare professionals in identifying and monitoring illnesses.
