Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of fever. Any homeostatic process by which an organism produces heat, thereby raising its internal temperature. Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the rate or extent of fever. Inflammation which comprises a rapid, short-lived, relatively uniform response to acute injury or antigenic challenge and is characterized by accumulations of fluid, plasma proteins, and granulocytic leukocytes. An acute inflammatory response occurs within a matter of minutes or hours, and either resolves within a few days or becomes a chronic inflammatory response. Any process that modulates the rate or extent of fever. A homeostatic process by which an organism modulates its internal body temperature. A rise in body temperature above the normal, often as a response to infection. Process involving non-antibody proteins whose concentrations in the plasma increase in response to infection or injury of homeothermic animals.
