Cerebral infarction may lead to fever, usually due to central hyperthermia, in addition to being prone to fever caused by aspiration pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and other diseases.
If the patient has a large cerebral infarction, central hyperthermia may occur if the lesion damages the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center.
If the patient with cerebral infarction has swallowing dysfunction, aspiration may occur, leading to aspiration pneumonia, which may also cause the patient to have fever.
If the cerebral infarction patient’s condition is more serious and paralysis occurs, due to the patient’s need for long-term bed rest, at this time, the patient’s urination and defecation are not self-conscious, which leads to personal hygiene problems, which in turn leads to urinary tract infections, resulting in fever.
Cerebral infarction patients such as fever, should be alert to the lesions involved in the thermoregulatory center or comorbidities, should go to the hospital in a timely manner, improve the relevant examination, under the guidance of the doctor for active treatment.
