    AbstractThe febrile response is a normal, nonspecific manifestation of nearly all infectious disease processes. However, in the compromised host, this response is often diminished or absent, thus depriving the clinician of an important diagnostic indicator. This article describes various clinical entities that present with fever and outlines the therapeutic considerations used in patients with impaired defense mechanisms.
