A temporary spike in the body's temperature is termed a fever. It is caused by the hypothalamus – the part of the brain responsible for maintaining normal body temperature. When the immune system detects an infection in the body, it triggers complex processes that produce more heat and activates the hypothalamus to increase the body’s temperature.

The overall process restricts heat loss from the body and may lead to patients experiencing shivers. While fever is usually a temporary problem that goes away without medication, it can also lead to severe or life-threatening complications. Some of the possible causes of fever include:

• Viral infections
• Bacterial infections
• Malignant tumour
• Specific inflammatory ailments like rheumatoid arthritis
• Post-exercise heat exhaustion

Detecting the cause of the fever can be difficult without consulting a medical practitioner. Hence, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention if the fever is accompanied by one or more of these symptoms:

• Constant headache
• A body temperature above 104 degrees Fahrenheit
• Nausea and vomiting
• Constipation
• Diarrhoea
• Loss of appetite
• Abnormality in urine; dark urine or low output
• Body ache

At times like these, the doctor may suggest the Apollo fever panel basic test package to determine the cause of the fever and start suitable treatment.

Apollo 24/7 offers an exhaustive fever profile test to check for some of the most common causes of fever.

It comprises a series of 58 tests that check for bacterial and viral infections and assess blood and urine samples to confirm the cause of fever. The tests included in this package are:

• C-Reactive Protein CRP (Quantitative) Test: The lungs release the CRP proteins in the blood only during inflammation. This response can be used to ascertain the cause of the fever and adjust the treatment accordingly.
• Complete Urine Examination: The body can also experience high temperatures due to a urinary tract infection, which can be detected by a comprehensive urine examination. 
• Complete Blood Count Test: The complete blood count test aims to gauge the level of white blood cells in the body. High white blood cells may indicate inflammation or infection, and the treatment can be performed as such.
• Widal Test ( Slide Method ): Widal test (slide method) helps to detect typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever which are collectively known as enteric fever.
• Dengue NS1 Antigen - Elisa: A dengue NS1 ELISA test, or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test, acts as a vital marker for early detection of dengue.
• Malarial Antigen ( Vivax And Falciparum) - Malaria, a life-threatening condition, continues to be a major health concern globally. It’s caused by a parasite known as Plasmodium, which is transmitted to people through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes.
• Typhidot - IgM - The Typhidot - IgM test is done to detect antibodies against Salmonella typhi. This test detects IgM antibodies against Salmonella typhi.
• Dengue IgG & IgM - Elisa - The Dengue profile IgG & IgM - ELISA test helps to detect the dengue virus. This test also helps to differentiate the diagnosis of fever.

A blood test for fever can facilitate the timely detection of the underlying cause. Timely detection can assist in the preparation of effective treatment methods for the fever to minimise the impact of the disease.
