Are fevers positive or negative feedback?

Fevers are generally considered a positive feedback mechanism. When the body detects an infection, it raises its temperature to create an environment less favorable for pathogens and enhance immune function. This response is driven by the release of pyrogens, which stimulate the hypothalamus to increase body temperature. However, it’s important to note that while the initial response is beneficial, excessively high fevers can become harmful, highlighting the need for balance in physiological responses.
