Fever reticuloendothelial system

P vivax malaria is the most prevalent type of infection and is characterized by periodic acute attacks of chills and fever, profuse sweating, enlarged spleen and liver, anemia, abdominal pain, headaches, and lethargy. Hyperactivity of the reticuloendothelial system and hemolysis are the principal causes of the enlarged spleen and liver these effects often result in anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and hyperbilirubinemia. The cyclical nature of the acute attacks (48 hours for... 

Endotoxin pyrogen induces fever by an indirect process. On entry into the circulatory system, endotoxin is bound to LPS-binding protein (LPB) that transports it to receptor cells in the reticuloendothelial system. The main target cells are circulating mononuclear cells, which produce proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNFot). These cytokines are involved in acute and chronic inflammation, induce fever, and modulate the host s response to bacterial infection. ° ...
