Pathophysiologically, these manifestations are driven by an innate immune response and systemic release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, frequently secondary to viral or bacterial infections, immunizations, or drug-induced immune activation

Pathophysiologically, these manifestations are driven by an innate immune response and systemic release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, frequently secondary to viral or bacterial infections, immunizations, or drug-induced immune activation In pharmacological contexts, the indication typically denotes supportive or symptomatic management of these constitutional complaints across diverse patient populations, while also frequently serving as a recognized adverse effect of immunotherapies and biologi...
