Introduction

(N) Range of body temperature 36.20 C – 37.70 C

Diurnal variation

Fever:>37.20C in the morning / 37.70C in the afternoon

Fever:Physiologic response against diseases characterized with

the increase of body temperature above normal rangecaused by the stimulation of pyrogens to the

hypothalamic thermoregulatory center

Thermoregulation…(5)

CONCLUSION : Thermoregulation = a body temperature controlling system which conducted by increasing the releasing of body heat when the body heat is more than the tolerable maximum value, and by increasing the producing and reducing the releasing of body heat when it is below the tolerable minimum level

Pathogenesis & Pathophysiology of Fever

Any substances that causes fever = PYROGEN

Exogenous Pyrogen Endogenous Pyrogen

• Endogenous antipyretics (intrinsic antipyretics):– Arginine vasopressin (AVP)– Alphamelanocyte-stimulating hormone– Corticotrophin releasing factor

Pathogenesis & Pathophysiology of Fever

Pathogenesis & Pathophysiology of Fever

Triggers of endogenous pyrogensMicrobial agents Viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasitesMicrobial toxins Endotoxin

Exotoxin

Enterotoxins, toxic shock syndrome, toxin-1, streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins, erythrogenic toxins

Microbial breakdown products

Peptidoglycans, muramyl peptides, lipoteichoic acid, rhamnose glucose polymers, lipoarabinomannan

Immune components & cytokines

Antigen-antibody complexes, complement components (C5a, C3a), lymphocyte products (IL-2, IFN), pyrogenic cytokines (IL-1, TNF-α)

Drugs Etiocholanolone, bleomycin, penicillin (through lymphocyte products in sensitized individuals)

Tumors Through production of pyrogenic cytokines

Pathogenesis & Pathophysiology of Fever

• Fever fighting the infection process: body temp serum levels of Fe, Zn & Cu needed for bacterial replication

body temp lysosomal breakdown & cells autodestruction preventing viral replication in infected cells

Types of feverTypes Description Diseases

Intermittent

Body temperature increase and then fall to normal level for a few hours or days

Abscess, falciparum malaria, still’s disease

Remittent Body temperature could decrease everyday but never reach the normal level

TBC, endocarditis, typhoid fever

Relapse Fever re-occur after a few days or weeks

Relapsing fever, brucellosis, tertiana or quartana malaria, limphoma

Biphasic Fever re-occur only once Leptospirosis, dengue, colorado tick fever, coriomeningitis limphocityc

Continue The variation of body temperature in a day is not > 10 C

Encephalitis, drug fever, salmonella, fastitious fever

Conclusion

• Fever as a complex physiologic response against a disease which is characterized by the increase of human body temperatures above normal range

• Happens when pyrogens, either endogenous or exogenous pyrogens, affect the thermoregulator in hypothalamus

Conclusion…(2)

• Exogenous pyrogens (infection or non-infection ones) induce the macrophages, monocytes, lymphocytes and endotels to release endogenous pyrogens (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, IFN- α).

• Endogenous pyrogens stimulate the release of arachidonic acid changed into PGE2 elevate the ‘set point’ in hypothalamic thermoregulatory center and cause fever
