There are numerous causes of a raised core temperature. A fever occurring in sepsis may
be associated with a survival benefit. However, this is not the case for non-infective triggers …

Elevation in core body temperature is one of the most frequently detected abnormal signs in
patients admitted to adult ICUs, and is associated with increased mortality in select …

Fever, commonly defined by a temperature of≥ 38.3 C (101 F), occurs in approximately one
half of patients admitted to intensive care units. Fever may be attributed to both infectious …

Fever is a common response to sepsis in critically ill patients. Fever occurs when either
exogenous or endogenous pyrogens affect the synthesis of prostaglandin E 2 in the pre …

In recent years, fever control in critically ill patients by medications and/or external cooling

Fever, the body's most manifest sign of infectious illness, is only one of a concatenation of
complex, nonspecific host defense responses to infectious pathogens termed the acute …

Introduction Fever is frequently observed in critically ill patients. An independent association
of fever with increased mortality has been observed in non-neurological critically ill patients …

An elevated temperature has many aetiologies, both infective and non-infective, and while
the fever of sepsis probably confers benefit, there is increasing evidence that the central …

Infections, trauma, inflammatory processes, and some malignant diseases induce a
constellation of host responses that are collectively referred to as the” acute-phase …

The present review distinguishes pathogenic, neurogenic, and psychogenic fever, but
focuses largely on pathogenic fever, the hallmark of infectious disease. The data presented …
