Description
Viral fever refers to a broad spectrum of conditions where viral infections are associated with elevations of body temperature. Headaches, body aches and a skin rash characterise most of these viral fevers. They may affect any age group, and are seen world-wide. The first line of management is the symptomatic treatment. The fever may be low grade or high grade and remittent. Inflammation of the pharynx, a running nose, nasal congestion, headache, redness of the eyes, cough, muscle and joint pains and a skin rash could be present. Some viral fevers are spread by insects, for example, arbovirus, can cause a bleeding tendency, which results in bleeding from the skin and several other internal organs and can be fatal.
