FEVER DESCRIPTION |
|
|
Viral fever refers to a broad spectrum
of conditions where viral infections are associated with elevations
of body temperature. The term encompasses a wide variety of viral
infections, some of which can be clearly identified by their
symptoms and signs. These viral infections may show generalised
symptoms, but may target specific organs.
Headaches, body aches and a skin rash characterise most of these
viral fevers. They may affect any age group, and are seen world-wide.
They require only symptomatic treatment. Some are highly contagious.
Most of them are not dangerous and self-limited, but some can
progress rapidly leading to death. |
