For example, microinjection of a COX inhibitor into the preoptic area of rat brain, a region believed to be responsible for thermoregulation, decreased the fever response to LPS suggesting that prostaglandin biosynthesis in that region of the brain is necessary to modulate the thermoregulatory response to infection [26].
Antibiotherapy in double association (84 cases) has decreased the fever and periods of hospitalization, and we observed no statistically significant difference compared to the cases in which the triple therapy was used.
600mcg sublingual misoprostol was found to decrease the occurrence of high fever among Ecuadorian women when given to treat PPH.
MEFV gene mutations, suggested to be specific for familial mediterranean fever, which decrease the expression of an anti-inflammatory protein 'pyrine' from neutrophils, are also described in BD from Turkey.

Chulay et al [ 22] found that turning the patient at 2-h intervals during the first 24 h after coronary artery bypass surgery decreased the incidence of fever and shortened ICU stay compared with patients remaining in the supine position.
The addition of self-report decreased the accuracy of fever detection at optimal thresholds for FLIR and OptoTherm (increase in sensitivity was less than decrease in specificity) but improved accuracy for Wahl with a greater increase in sensitivity than the decrease in specificity (Table 1).
Although there was significant decrease of the fever burden in the device group no difference could be found in the long-term, 6-month, patient follow-up.
Hand washing and disinfectants dramatically decreased the incidence of puerperal fever.
