Fever is considered to be a symptom of a disorder rather than a disease in itself.
It is believed that infectious disease, injury to the body tissues, and other conditions that cause fever somehow trigger a disturbance in the functioning of the hypothalamus, the center of temperature control in the body.
The effects of fever on the body are weakness, exhaustion, and sometimes a depletion of body fluids through excessive perspiration.

So it’s not surprising that the closest that Springsteen has come to covering a blues song is his drastic reworking of Sonny Boy Williamson’s “Cross My Heart.” But let’s dig a little deeper to see how some of the Boss’s original songs may have been influenced by the blues.
