Microorganisms, including bacteria and parasites, can produce chemical poisons. Both the microorganism and the poisons cause the white blood cells (called monocytes) to produce substances called pyrogens. It's the pyrogens that actually cause fever. The body produces pyrogens in response to infection, inflammation, cancer, or an allergy. The word pancreatitis literally means inflammation or infection of the pancreas so your body's natural response to send those pyrogens after it thus causing fever.
