Biological Chemistry and Physiopathology of Metabolism During Fever
Physiopathology determines the causes and conditions of pathological processes, in other words, of aetiology, as well as the mechanisms of their production, namely pathogenesis; this discipline studies the general reactions of the organism, regardless of the form of the disease by which they would manifest themselves; it also studies the general rules for the occurrence and evolution of the disorders of the functions of different systems which depend on the properties of the whole organism. The tasks of physiopathology become clearer when we compare it with the tasks of the clinical investigation. Physiopathology clarifies the causes and the mechanism of the onset of a thermal reaction of the body, such as fever; the clinical part, in this case, deals with certain well-defined forms of febrile disorders, especially of infectious origin. Physiopathology studies the general rules of occurrence and development of the inflammatory process, while the clinical disciplines investigate a number of diseases caused by different forms of inflammation. Physiopathology is closely related to biology. The personal clinical study was carried out during the period 2016-2018 on a sample of 362 patients, who showed changes in the functions of different systems and organs during fever. The problem of the influence of fever, seen as a general reaction of the organism to the action of infectious agents, is of major importance in clarifying the role of fever as a reaction of adaptation in the fight of the body against infection, and it largely determines its treatment. Excessive temperature increase, as well as a sudden drop, can exert a harmful effect on the body.
