The immune system detects foreign cells and sends pyrogens through the blood stream to the hypothalamus, which is the part of the brain responsible for temperature regulation. When the hypothalamus detects the pyrogens, it is a signal to retain more body heat in order to destroy the foreign cells. Excess body heat creates an inhospitable environment for many disease causing types of cells.
