A member asked:
Why do i almost never get a raised temperature? not even with crohn's, endocarditis, pneumonia, swine flu, central line sepsis. is this common?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uncommon: Some individuals have a low basal body temperature, some may be hypothyroid, some may have a defect in the body's "thermostat" in the hypothalamus. But not becoming febrile with the conditions you mention is quite rare.
