Fever worsens weaker organ

๐ŸŒก️  Why Fever Worsens Weaker Organs ✍ By Dr. Subha Rajan, BAMS ๐Ÿ”ฌ MODERN PATHOGENESIS – SYSTEMIC TO LOCAL EFFECTS ✅ Stage 1: Invasion of Pyrogens When the body detects pathogens (bacteria, virus, fungi), they release exogenous pyrogens (like LPS – lipopolysaccharide). These activate immune cells (macrophages, monocytes), which then release endogenous pyrogens: ๐Ÿ‘‰ IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, interferons ✅ Stage 2: Hypothalamic Thermoregulation These pyrogens reach the hypothalamus, which resets the body’s thermostat via prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Result: Fever (Pyrexia) – elevated body temperature to support immune defense. ✅ Stage 3: Systemic Effects Begin Increased temperature causes: ↑ Heart rate ↑ Metabolism Muscle protein breakdown ↓ Appetite (energy conservation) ↑ Cortisol secretion (stress hormone) ✅Stage 4: Targeting the Weak Spots The immune system is now hyperactive, and inflammatory mediators like cytokines travel through the bloodstream. They accumulate more in areas with: Pr...

Psoriasis

๐Ÿง•๐Ÿฝ Patient:  I have dry, red, scaly patches on my skin. It itches. People stare. Is it some allergy? Will it ever go away? ๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍⚕️ Dr. Subha: "You’re not alone. What you're describing sounds like Psoriasis – and I’m here to help you understand it completely, not just treat the surface." ๐Ÿ’› ๐ŸŒฟ What is Psoriasis? Psoriasis is not an allergy. It’s an immune condition. Your immune system works too hard and creates skin cells too fast. ๐Ÿง  Normally, your skin cells renew every 28–30 days. But in Psoriasis, they renew every 3–7 days! Result? Extra layers of skin pile up → red, thick, itchy, scaly patches. ๐Ÿ” Is it Contagious? ❌ No. Psoriasis is not contagious. You can’t “catch” it. You don’t get it from touching someone. But yes – it can be lifelong and comes in flares. ๐ŸŒฟ Let's Look Deeper – Why Does It Happen? ๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍⚕️ “Shall we explore both the Modern and Ayurvedic views? That way, we understand your body better.” ๐Ÿงฌ Modern Science Says... Autoimmune disease – your immune sy...
