THE mechanism whereby bacterial infections induce fever has been elucidated in some detail 1,2. Bacteria and bacterial pyrogens (exogenous pyrogen) interact with polymorphonuclear granulocytes of the ...

THE pathogenesis of endotoxin fever has been much elucidated since the observation of the appearance in the serum of a fever-producing substance (endogenous pyrogen) after endotoxin 1. The transient ...

In a new paper, researchers propose a mechanistic hypothesis that focuses on the potential impact infectious fever has on a particular subset of T cells, known as gamma/delta T cells. Recurring ...

Pyrogens and endotoxins are a diverse group of molecules – including components of microbes and environmental particles – that pose a contamination threat to pharmaceuticals, biotherapeutics and ...

Recurring patterns in patient accounts suggest the existence of an inverse relationship between personal history of infectious fever and cancer risk, and these patterns are documented throughout ...
