Fever represents an elevation of body temperature, that exerts a protective effect against pathogens. Innate immune cells and neurons are implicated in the regulation temperature. Pathogen-associated molecular patterns, i.e., lipopolysaccharides from Gram-negative bacteria peptidoglycan lipoteichoic acid Gram-positive exogenous pyrogens, bind to Toll-like receptors on non-immune cells. The subsequent release pro-inflammatory cytokines [interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha] their passage through brain trigger febrile response. In fact, pre-optic area produce prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), that, turn, PGE2 receptors; thus, generating fever. Apart classical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin acetaminophen, various botanicals currently used as antipyretic agents and, therefore, mechanisms action will be elucidated.

In inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), such as Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), the immune system relentlessly attacks intestinal cells, causing recurrent tissue damage over lifetime of patients. The etiology IBD is complex multifactorial, involving environmental, microbiota, genetic, immunological factors that alter molecular basis organism. Among these, microbiota cells play pivotal roles; generates antigens recognized by antibodies, while autoantibodies target attack membrane, exacerbating inflammation damage. Given altered framework, analysis multiple biomarkers in patients proves exceedingly valuable for diagnosing prognosing IBD, including markers like C reactive protein fecal calprotectin. Upon detection classification patients, specific treatments are administered, ranging from conventional drugs to new biological therapies, antibodies neutralize molecules tumor necrosis factor (TNF) integrin. This review delves into targets, biomarkers, treatment options, monitoring techniques, and, ultimately, current challenges management.
