Abstract

Fever is defined by elevation in core body temperature above the daily range for an individual. It is a characteristic feature of a number of noninfectious diseases such as inflammatory, autoimmune, and autoregulatory disorder, as well as numerous infectious conditions. Fever is a recognized disorder in the setting of acute brain and nervous system disorders. The pathogenesis of fever, etiology, evaluation, and management are discussed in this chapter.
