Why do infections cause a rise in body temperature, making the body feel hot?

Infections cause a rise in body temperature because the body's immune system releases chemicals called pyrogens in response to the infection. These pyrogens signal the brain to increase the body's temperature, which helps to fight off the infection by making it harder for the bacteria or virus to survive. This rise in temperature makes the body feel hot.


What enzyme in the human body is used to repel an invading virus?

The enzyme used to repel an invading virus in the human body is interferon. Interferons are proteins released by cells in response to viral infections, and they help to activate the immune system and inhibit viral replication.

How do active and latent viral infections differ?

Active viral infections occur when a virus replicates and causes symptoms in the host, leading to the production of new viral particles. In contrast, latent viral infections involve the virus remaining dormant within the host's cells without causing immediate symptoms; it can reactivate later, potentially leading to active infection again. This distinction is crucial for understanding viral behavior in the body and for treatment approaches. Examples include herpes simplex virus for latent infections and influenza virus for active infections.
