Fever Can Be A Symptom of Many Diseases

Abstract

Fever is a condition of elevated temperature in the human body above normal levels. It is caused by the stimulation of the thermoregulatory center in the brain, and represents the body’s defensive reaction to the cause of the disease. The symptoms associated with fever may be: rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, dry skin, changes in the composition of urine, and in severe forms of fever may occur auditory or visual hallucinations. Fever is not a disease, but it is a symptom of the disease. It usually is an infection that is often harmless and goes away on its own.
