    Snippet: Fever is mediated by the cytokines mentioned above, mainly IL-1, and is one of the best-understood interactions between the immune system and the nervous system. Although some aspects of the relay signals are unknown, it is largely thought that these cytokines signal the hypothalamus via the peripheral nervous system to increase the thermal set point [15] [16] [17] [18] .

    Document: Fever is mediated by the cytokines mentioned above, mainly IL-1, and is one of the best-understood interactions between the immune system and the nervous system. Although some aspects of the relay signals are unknown, it is largely thought that these cytokines signal the hypothalamus via the peripheral nervous system to increase the thermal set point [15] [16] [17] [18] . Other symptoms also result from the cross talk of the immune system with the nervous system. Sneezing is mediated by the trigeminal nerve. This signal is relayed to the brain stem in response to histamines secreted by leukocytes [19, 20] .
