Universitas: ciências da saúde, Brasília, DF, v. 4, n. 1/2, p. 111-117, 2006.1678-5398e- 1981-9730http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/17865The fever constitutes a defensive mechanism of the organism to aggressions. It is one of the most frequent findings in the medical clinic. It is associated with several etiologies, can be present in several pathologies. Among these, we detach the infectious and parasitic diseases, where the fever is usually the first symptom to appear. It is an integrated mechanism of endocrine and autonomous factors, coordinated by the temperature regulator center: the hypothalamus. To know this complex physiopathological mechanism of the fever it is needed before to know the basic physiological mechanisms that regulate the corporal temperature, as the available physical resources for the temperature measurements. The intrinsic factors of the fever generation and their physiopathological mechanisms will be analyzed and described with emphasis to the fever in the infectious parasitic diseases.porAcesso AbertoFebreDoenças infecto-parasitáriasFisiopatologiaFeverPhysiopathologyParasitic diseasesInfectious diseasesArtigo
