Describe how fever enhances the immune response
What will be an ideal response?
Fever enhances immune defenses by increasing the rate of enzyme activity, thus speeding up metabolism, tissue repair, and the formation and activity of phagocytic cells. Higher temperature also slows the rate of division in some pathogens, and this gives white blood cells an advantage in the proliferation race against them.
