Resumo
The 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.
