	Fever: Encyclopedia of Cancer
		Fever associated with cancer can generally be categorized into four major causal groups: infection, tumors, allergic reactions to a drug, or allergic reaction to blood components in transfusion therapies.
		Fever in a patient with neutropenia (low white blood cell count) represents the potential for a critical, life-threatening situation, and treatment should begin as quickly as the patient can reach the emergency room.
		The allergic responses manifesting in drug-or blood-associated fever may be treated by various methods: antihista-mines and acetaminophen may be administered prior to drug therapy or blood transfusion therapy; discontinuing the present drug and choosing alternate medication may be required; blood may require irradiation or removal of white blood cells from the donor blood.

	Valley Fever Vaccine Project of the Americas
		Although many brief articles on valley fever have been published - in pamphlets, newspapers, magazines, and encyclopedia and although many articles on the subject have appeared in medical journals and other scientific magazines and texts, we are aware of no previous attempt to present a thorough discussion of this disease to the non-medical public.
		The drainage of valley fever abscesses in soft tissues and in bones and joints, or the removal of bone infections (osteomyelitis) is also performed fairly commonly in areas where valley fever is prevalent.
		Fever, cough, tiredness, joint and muscle aches, malaise can be due to viral infections, bacterial infections, infections by a fungus other than Coccidioides immitis, etc. But - — — in "cocci country", especially in the summer and fall, the "classic" symptoms just mentioned suggest valley fever as the most likely diagnosis.

	Fever. What is a fever? What to do about a fever?
		A fever is defined as a body temperature above 100.5 degrees F. Therefore, a body temperature of 99.5 degrees or 100 degrees F is not a fever and should not be a cause for worry in otherwise normal children.
		Fever is only a symptom, not a disease, most often scary and annoying, but in most cases not dangerous.
		The old favorite remedy, aspirin, should not be used to treat fever in children under 16 years of age because of its association with Reye's Syndrome (a syndrome of rapidly worsening neurological symptoms and liver degeneration) in children with viral illness and chicken pox.

	WHO \| Yellow fever
		The risk to life from yellow fever is far greater than the risk from the vaccine, so those who may be exposed to yellow fever should be protected by immunization.
		Improvement in yellow fever surveillance is needed as evidenced by the gross underreporting of cases (estimates as to the true number of cases vary widely and have put the underreporting factor between three- and 250-fold).
		This is facilitated by a standardized definition of possible yellow fever cases, that is "acute fever followed by jaundice within two weeks of onset of symptoms, or with bleeding symptoms or with death within three weeks of onset".

	Viral fever \| DoctorNDTV: Health Information on Viral fever
		Viral fever refers to a broad spectrum of conditions where viral infections are associated with elevation of body temperature.
		Some viral fevers are spread by insects, for example, arbovirus, and can cause a bleeding tendency, which results in bleeding from the skin and several other internal organs and can be fatal.
		Confirmation of the fever is done by a culture of virus from the relevant specimens such as nasal swabs, and skin rash or by increase in antibody levels in serial blood samples.

	Fever of Unknown Origin (FUOs) by MedicineNet.com
		Usually when a person develops a fever, he or she has pain, or cough, or other symptoms that explain why the fever is occurring.
		Blood tests, a thorough physical examination, and radiological studies (most commonly a chest x-ray and/or chest and abdominal CT scans) are generally performed as a first step in the investigation of unexplained fever.
		The key to the evaluation of fevers of undetermined origin (FUOs) is consistent communication between the doctor and the patient and diligent testing as appropriate in the context of the symptoms present.

	Publications: Predeposit Autologous Transfusion Program
		Although each volunteer blood donation is screened for hepatitis by studying the health history of the donor and testing the donation, there remains a small chance that an unidentified and undetectable hepatitis virus could be passed in a transfusion.
		All blood is tested for both HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies prior to being transfused, and the risk of HIV infection from the current volunteer blood supply is extremely low-estimated by the Centers for Disease Control in January of 1995 to be less than on in 420,000.
		Volunteer donor blood support may be required; however, by reducing exposure to volunteer donor blood, the risk of complications is also lessened.

		Fever is may be due to a minor illness, but it could be the first sign of a very serious infection.

	Blood infection or bacterial sepsis (0-12 months)
		That means that unvaccinated children are now the most susceptible to blood infections, particularly those who are between 2 months and 36 months of age, when the immune system has not yet fully developed.
		If your baby is between 3 and 12 months old, take her in if her fever is higher than 102 degrees F. If your baby seems inconsolable, won't make eye contact, or is difficult to arouse, bring her in even if her fever is not that high.
		Though most fevers are the result of viral infection, your baby will need to have a spinal tap (to check for bacterial meningitis), a blood draw (to check for sepsis), and perhaps a catheter to get a clean urine sample (to check for a urinary tract infection).
