What Is a Fever?
A fever is an elevation of body temperature above normal levels (>37.5°C in the morning, >38°C in the evening) in the absence of intense physical activity, in a person who is appropriately dressed, in a temperate environment.
What is the mechanism behind a fever?
Our brain has a temperature regulation center that functions like a central thermostat. When everything is working properly, this thermostat maintains an average temperature of 37°C.
In the event of an infection, our body needs a higher temperature to trigger its immune defense mechanisms. It then produces molecules called prostaglandins, which raise our thermostat’s baseline temperature.
