A fever is a medical symptom that describes an abnormally high increase in body temperature. It is most often a sign of systemic infection or sepsis. It is often accompanied by delirium.

When Dr. Phlox visited Captain Jonathan Archer in his cell on Narendra III in 2152, Phlox pretended to diagnose Archer with xenopolycythemia in order to talk to him.

In 2366, Beverly Crusher treated Patahk's fever by keeping it down and trying to let the body heal itself. (TNG: "The Enemy")

In 2367, a simulation of Crusher told Will Riker that, among other symptoms, a strain of Altarian encephalitis had resulted in his experiencing fever. (TNG: "Future Imperfect")

Kamin had been feverish for three days when Jean-Luc Picard awakened in his place. (TNG: "The Inner Light")

A high fever was a late symptom of the aphasia virus which Chief Miles O'Brien suffered from in 2369. (DS9: "Babel")

A fever was a symptom of the Larosian virus. (DS9: "If Wishes Were Horses")
