Immune response isn't controlled by the brain tho.
I'm pretty sure there's a shiny bead in your brain that regulates your temperature. Keep in mind, all my knowledge on this subject comes from Osmosis Jones.
You like this chain, Jones?
I concur!

The body may act intelligently.. But not directly most related to the brain.Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fever#Pathophysiology_of_fever_induction
I actually think your brain is the first thing to succumb to fever damage, no? Still, quality cartoon.
Still alive, evildoer? Get ready for my CYTOKINE STORM
But Sir, those are banned by a body-wide treaty!
I AM THE BODY
But brain will be takin the most damage and have no control on it whatsoever .
What if instead of viruses or diseases killing you it was your brains increasingly escalatory responses to the virus. Basically the braining saying I'm killing this thing or I'm gonna die trying. I dont the science behind it but I'm high as.
You're basically describing an allergic reaction.
There are many, many diseases caused by your own immune system attacking your body. The brain itself cannot "attack" anything unless you count seizures and the like. Maybe several forms of psychosis could fit the bill with even more stretching, but there is little your brain can do outside of interfering with bodily functions. If you seizure that hard outside of a hospital bed, you're probably SOL in most cases.

I'm gonna live or die tryin'
