'''Drug-induced fever''' is a state wherein the administration of drugs intended to help a patient causes a fever. The drug may interfere with heat dissipation peripherally, increase the rate of metabolism, evoke a cellular or humoral immune response, mimic endogenous pyrogen, or damage tissues.

==Triggers==
* Directly caused by the drug,'' e.g.'' lamictal, progesterone, or chemotherapeutics causing tumor necrosis
* Possible side effect of stimulants and entactogens (e.g. MDMA, methamphetamine, PMA, 4-MTA)
* As an adverse reaction to drugs, ''e.g.'' antibiotics or sulfa drugs.
* After drug discontinuation, ''e.g.'' heroin or fentanyl withdrawal
* Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome; rare, life-threatening hyperpyrexia caused by antidopaminergic drugs (mostly antipsychotics)
* Serotonin Syndrome; excessive serotonergic activity due usually to combined use of serotonergic drugs (e.g. antidepressants, stimulants, triptans)
* 5HT2A agonists, ''e.g.'' psilocybin or LSD
