Normal body temperature (thermoregulatory set-point) is shown in green, while the hyperthermic temperature is shown in red.  As can be seen, hyperthermia can be conceptualized as an increase above the thermoregulatory set-point.Hypothermia: Characterized in the center:  Normal body temperature is shown in green, while the hypothermic temperature is shown in blue.  As can be seen, hypothermia can be conceptualized as a decrease below the thermoregulatory set-point.Fever: Characterized on the right: Normal body temperature is shown in green. It reads "New Normal" because the thermoregulatory set-point has risen.  This has caused what was the normal body temperature (in blue) to be considered hypothermic. | | internal | endogenous | external | exogenous | lipopolysaccharide | Depyrogenation | filtration | distillation | chromatography | cytokines | interleukin 1 | innate immune system | phagocytic cells | interleukin 6 | tumor necrosis factor-alpha | circumventricular organs | brain | blood-brain barrier | endothelial receptors | microglial cells | arachidonic acid pathway | gram-negative bacteria | lipopolysaccharide-binding protein | CD14 | macrophage | cytokine | arachidonic acid | enzymes | phospholipase A2 | cyclooxygenase-2 | prostaglandin E2 synthase | preoptic area | prostaglandin E receptor 3 | dorsomedial hypothalamus | raphe | medulla oblongata | paraventricular nucleus | hypothalamus | sympathetic | pituitary gland | endocrine organs | autonomic nervous system | muscle tone | shivering | vasoconstriction | brown adipose tissue | thermogenesis | blood pressure | for convenience | °C | °F | low grade | hyperpyrexia | medical emergency | diagnosis | Pel-Ebstein fever | Hodgkin's lymphoma | lobar pneumonia | typhoid | urinary tract infection | brucellosis | typhus | Typhoid fever | malaria | kala-azar | pyaemia | septicemia | Plasmodium malariae | infective endocarditis | febrile neutropenia | neutrophils | chemotherapy | symptom | Infectious disease | influenza | common cold | HIV | malaria | infectious mononucleosis | gastroenteritis | inflammations | boils | pimples | acne | abscess | Immunological | lupus erythematosus | sarcoidosis | inflammatory bowel diseases | hemolysis | surgery | infarction | crush syndrome | rhabdomyolysis | cerebral hemorrhage | lamictal | progesterone | chemotherapeutics | tumor | necrosis | antibiotics | sulfa drugs | heroin | fentanyl | Cancers | renal cancer | leukemia | lymphomas | Metabolic disorders | gout | porphyria | pulmonary embolism | deep venous thrombosis | fever of unknown origin | Hippocrates | warm-blooded | vertebrates | humans | in vivo | pathogens | leukocytes | phagocytosis | endotoxin | proliferation | interferon | | cite | references or sources | reliable sources | Unverifiable | dehydration | hyponatremia | sports drinks | electrolyte | heart rate | metabolism | heart disease | delirium | hyperpyrexia | antipyretics | ibuprofen | acetominophen | aspirin | Reye's Syndrome | water | vasoconstriction | heat conduction | convection | radiation | evaporation | sweating | diagnosis | disease in domestic animals | horse | cow | camels | Ebola fever | Puerperal fever | Yellow fever | East Coast fever | Malignant catarrhal fever | Milk fever | Rift valley fever | doi | Richard Asher's | ISBN 0-03-005159-2 | Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine | ISBN 0-07-139140-1 | v | d | Symptoms | signs | R50-R69 | 780-789 | Hyperpyrexia | Fever of unknown origin | Pain | Headache | Chronic pain | Malaise | Fatigue | Asthenia | Debility | Fainting/syncope | Vasovagal syncope | Carotid sinus syncope | Heat syncope | Ingestion | Anorexia | Polydipsia | Polyphagia | Cachexia | Xerostomia | Anorexia | Weight loss | Hemodynamic | Shock | Cardiogenic | Hypovolemic | Distributive | Septic | Neurogenic | Edema | Peripheral edema | Anasarca | Hyperaemia | Functional | Reactive | Lymphadenopathy | Delayed milestone | Failure to thrive | Short stature | Idiopathic | Seizure | Febrile seizure | Hyperhidrosis | Sleep hyperhidrosis | Clubbing | Tenderness | Categories | Symptoms | Articles lacking sources from March 2008 | All articles lacking sources |
