    Systemic response
  • Benefits of Fever
    IL-1 stimulates production of T-Cells
  • Interferons
    Play a key role against virus infections and intracellular microorganisms → Rickettsia spp.

    Helper of CD4 T-cell which is the primary target of HIV
  • Hypersensitivity Reaction Type II
    Cytotoxic Reaction – blood dyscrasias
  • Q in fever means query
