Body temperature elevated over 100 °F (37.8 °C) can be called as Fever. Body temperature change between 97 °F (36.1 °C) and 100 °F (37.8 °C), with the average being 98.6 °F (37 °C) in healthy human being. The body maintains the temperature within this range by balancing the heat producing and loosing mechanisms. The thermo regulatory sensors are located in the hypothalamus which is a small structure located in the brain. The nervous system continuously communicate information about the body's temperature to the thermo regulatory center,the heat and cold sensors which make activate different physical reactions to cool or warm the body. Body achieve this talk by decreasing or increasing the blood flow from the body’s internal organs to surface or vice versa. Also by regulating body’s metabolism to produce heat or cool down the body which include shivering to generate heat through muscle contraction; and sweating to cool the body through evaporation.

A fever occurs when the temperature sensors resets at a high temperature, mainly in response to an infection. To reach the higher temperature, the body produce shivering by moving blood to more internal organs. Person experience the chill due to draining of blood from surface of the body. Once target temperature is achieved, shivering and chills will be stopped. Body become cold by reversing the above mechanism once the infection has been overcome. During this process body produce sweat by pumping more blood to surface and by releasing heat.Fever can be one of an important mechanism of body’s immune system to prevent itself from growth of harmful bacteria.
Fevers are chiefly caused by viral or bacterial infections like tuberculosis, pneumonia etc, other conditions like allergic reactions; autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis etc; trauma-fracture bone; cancer; excessive exposure to the sun; intense exercise; hormonal imbalances; certain drugs; and damage to the hypothalamus etc.
During the infection fever-inducing agents pyrogens are released which trigger the resetting of the temperature sensors. A fever is usually diagnosed using a thermometer.
