Setting. Thirty-one bed, medico-surgical department of intensive care. Patients. Adult patients admitted consecutively to the ICU for at least 24 h, during 6 summer months. Interventions. None. esults. Fever (BTgreater than or equal to38.3degreesC) occurred in 139 (28.2%) patients and hypothermia (BTless than or equal to36degreesC) in 45 (9.1%) patients, at some time during the ICU stay. Fever was present in 52 of 100 (52.0%) infected patients without septic shock, and in 24 of 38 (63.2%) patients with septic shock. Hypothermia occurred in 5 of 100 (5.0%) infected patients without septic shock and in 5 of 38 (13.1%) patients with septic shock. Patients with hypothermia and fever had higher Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores on admission (6.3+/-3.7 and 6.4+/-3.3 vs 4.6+/-3.2; p
