Effect of Poststroke Pyrexia on Stroke Outcome, A Meta-Analysis of Studies in Patients
Stroke 31:410-414, Hajat,C.,et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The results from this meta-analysis suggest that pyrexia after stroke onset is associated with a marked increase in morbidity and mortality. Measures should be taken to combat fever in the clinical setting to prevent stroke progression. The possible benefit of therapeutic hypothermia in the management of acute stroke should be further investigated.
