Is a fever always present during an infection?

Answer 1

No, it is caused by an infection or when your body decides it needs to "starve off" foreign substances.

Answer 2

Not always, but it is very common as the increased temperature slows the growth of pathogens in the body.

Answer 3

Not always - some chronic or localized infections will not trigger the inflammatory response in the entire body so you wouldn't necessarily be running a fever.

Answer 4

no
