👉 Fe-infection, or febrile infection, refers to the phenomenon where an infection triggers a fever, which is characterized by an elevated body temperature. This occurs because the immune system responds to pathogens by releasing pyrogens, substances that signal the hypothalamus in the brain to raise the body's temperature set point. The resulting fever can enhance the immune response by increasing the activity of immune cells and improving their efficiency in fighting off the infection. However, while fe-infection is a natural and often beneficial response, it can also lead to discomfort and, in severe cases, complications if the fever becomes excessively high or prolonged.
