abstract: The authors evaluate the most frequent causes of hyperthermia during postoperative periods. They develop their article in a chronological manner in order to make a more didactic presentation. The authors also include a short review of other less frequent causes for postoperation fever and they analyze the most common situation when an altered fever response occurs.
