Abstract

“Fever is most common systemic manifestation of the inflammatory response and cardinal symptoms of infectious diseases and are subject to physical and chemical stimuli” Possible mechanism of fever production is the ultimate regulators of body temperature are the thermoregulatory centers in the hypothalamus. The causative agent in scarlet fever is Gropup A Streptococcus (GAS) AS, a gram-positive coccus that grows in chains. The bacteria is the causative agent of strep throat, impetigo, erysipelas, cellulitis, and necrotizing fasciitis. Brucella melitensis is the most aggressive strain which produces malignant type of human disease. The fever usually rises in the afternoon. Its fall during the night is accompanied by drenching sweat. Bartonella bacilliformis causes Oroya fever. It is transmitted through sand flies. The Pontiac fever illness shows high fever, chills, malaise, nonproductive cough, hypoxia,diarrhea,and delirium. Typhoid fever syndrome is produced mainly by S. typhi,S.paratyphi. Stepladder like fever. The development of ARF (Acute rheumatic fever) occurs approximately two weeks after S. pyogenes infection Acute rheumatic fever is a delayed sequela of pharyngitis due to Streptococcus pyogenes, which are also called group A Streptococcus or group A strep.Q fever is a disease caused by the bacteria Coxiella burnetii. This bacteria naturally infects some animals, such as goats, sheep, and cattle.
