Fever•Normal body temperature:
37oC (set point ,体温调定点 )
Circadian variation <1o C : 36.3 - 37.2oC
•Definition of fever:
An elevation of core body temperature above the normal range
rectal T 0.5oC > oral T 0. 5oC > axillary T (腋温)
FeverPyrogens 致热原
Elevated set-point
Maintaining an abnormally elevated Temperature
BMR(basal metabolic rate) increases
T = Elevated set-point
BMR 10% = T 0.6oC
Hyperthermia ( 过热)•fever due to a disturbance of thermal regulatory control excessive heat production (e.g. vigorous exercise, a reaction to some anesthetics)
decreased dissipation (e.g. dehydration)
loss of regulation (injury to the hypothalamic( 下丘脑的 ) regulatory center)
Hyperthermia
Excessive heat production
T > unchanged set-point
Decreased dissipation
Loss of regulation
Pathophysiology•Body temperature is determined by two opposing processes
heat production heat loss
• They are regulated by the central nervous system
• Energy in the form of heat is generated by living tissues (thermogenesis 生热作用 )
• Energy may be passively absorbed from the environment and transfer the energy to the surrounding medium
Heat production
•Increased BMR, by varying the level of circulating thyroxine (甲状腺素 )
( controlled by hypothalamus 下丘脑 )
•Increased muscle sensitivity (shivering)
Heat loss
•By varying the volume of blood flowing
to skin’s surface (>100 fold)
•By vaporization (exocrine sweating)
Pathophysiology
•The body temperature is under control of the
preoptic area of the anterior hypothalamus(视前区下丘脑前部)Thermostat (恒温器)
•It receives input from both central receptors and peripheral receptors
Pathophysiology
•Elevation of body Temperature
shivering thermogenesis and dermal vasoconstriction
sympathetic ( 交感神经) outflow
•Cooling mechanism
sweating and dermal vasodilation
mixture of sympathetic and parasympathetic pathways

Pathophysiology
•Hypothalamic thermostat Inherent Set Point: 37oC
lowest: 4 a.m; peak: 6~10 p.m
•Fever follow this pattern
•Factors affect body Temperature exercise
menstrual cycle
environmental temperature
Pathogenesis of fever
Pyrogens ( 致热原)• Substances that can cause fever
• Either exogenous or endogenous 外源性致热原 内源性致热原
Exogenous Pyrogens•From outside the host
(some may be the endogenous products)
•Most of them are with high molecule weight
•Could not penetrate blood-brain barrier
Stimulating monocytes and macrophages to induce the formation of endogenous pyrogen
Exogenous Pyrogens
Majority are microorganism, their products or toxins
Gram-: endotoxin 内毒素
(lipopolysaccaride 脂多糖 , LPS)
Gram+: lipoteichoic acid (脂磷壁酸) peptidoglycan (肽聚糖) exotoxins( 外毒素 )and enterotoxins( 肠毒素)
Exogenous Pyrogens
Others complement products
steroid hormone metabolites
antigen-antibody complex with complement
Endogenous Pyrogen
•In response to invasive stimuli:
exogenous pyrogen
chemical agents (amphotericin and other drug) 两性霉素 B
•Produced by cells of immune system of the host
(macrophages, lymphocytes)
•Proteins designated ‘monokines’ and ‘lymphokines’
cytokines (细胞因子)
Endogenous Pyrogen
•Cytokines
IL-1 IL-1 TNFTNF IFN IL-6
•Phagocytes and lymphocytes: major source of pyrogenic cytokines
•It may also released through autonomous production and secretion
Pathogenesis of fever
•Bacteria provoke release of IL-1
Viral proteins stimulate IFN
•Combined production of several cytokines cause fever
Pathogenesis of fever
•Pyrogenic cytokines bind receptors present on vascular endothelial cells that lie within the hypothalamus
•Resetting the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center by increased prostaglandin (PGE, 前列腺素 ) and cAMP
Production of endogenous pyrogens
促肾上腺皮质激素
促皮质激素释放因子

Etiology and classification
•Infective fever
•Non-infective fever
Infective fever
•Metabolites from organism cause fever
•Most common causes of fever (50%~60%)
Bacteria pyrogens:
common cause of infective fever (43%)
Viral pyrogens: (6%)
Non-infective fever
•Absorption of necrotic substances:
injury ischemic necrosis cell necrosis 缺血性坏死•Allergy
antibiotics (penicillin-based)
•Endocrine and metabolic disturbances:
hyperthyroidism (甲亢) dehydration (脱水)•Decreased elimination of heat from skin:
heat failure
Non-infective fever
•Dysfunction of central heat regulation
physical: heat stroke 中暑
chemical: barbiturate poisoning 巴比妥酸盐中毒
mechanical: cerebral hemorrhage 脑出血
•Dysfunction of vegetative nervous system
sympathetic overactivity 交感功能亢进
Clinical manifestation
•The grade of fever Low grade fever: 37.3~38oC
Moderate fever: 38~39oC
High fever: 39.1~41oC
Hyperthermia fever: >41oC
Clinical manifestation
•Clinical course of fever

Subsidence: by crisis or lysis
Character of fever
•Continued (稽留热)T: kept at 39oC~40oC constantly
