False, fever helps fight against pathogens.
How does fever fight against pathogens?
Our body temperature tends to remain around 37°C (98.6°F) while we're in good health. But when a virus or infection is present, body temperature frequently rises, leading to a fever.
Cellular processes that ensure the immune system responds appropriately to the invading virus or bacterium are triggered by an increase in body temperature.
The body's inflammatory response to infection or sickness is largely regulated by a signaling system known as Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-B). NF-B is a family of proteins that aid in controlling gene expression and the generation of certain immune cells. These proteins switch the appropriate immune response-related genes on and off at the cellular level in response to the presence of viral or bacterial compounds in the system.
As body temperature drops, NF-B activity tends to decrease. However, it usually intensifies when the body temperature exceeds 37°C (98.6°F).
