Neurogenic fever (NF) is a non-infectious source of fever in the patient with head injury is a commonly-encountered diagnostic and management problem and, if untreated, can cause damage to the brain in many ways. Patients with TBI are immunocompromised to a certain extent and this predisposes them to sepsis, which should be a primary concern particularly in comatose patients.
