Fever protects the host by slowing temperature-sensitive pathogen growth, speeding up damage repair, enhancing the immune system, and inducing hypoferremia.
La fiebre protege al huésped al ralentizar el crecimiento de patógenos sensibles a la temperatura, acelerar la reparación de daños, potenciar el sistema inmunitario y inducir hipoferremia.
| Front | How does a fever provide protection? |
|---|---|
| Back | 1. If pathogen is extremely temp-sensitive, may slightly slow their growth 2. increases metabolism to speed repair of damage 3. Facilitates/enhances actions of immune system 4. Induces hypoferremia |
