Some patients present to the intensive care unit due to noninfectious pathologies resulting in fever, especially acute neurological injuries, including brain trauma and intracranial haemorrhage. The cause has been identified to be central hyperthermia characterized by a high core temperature and a poor response to antipyretics and antibiotics.
