Fever Cachectic

Cachectic fever is an acute febrile illness that can be fatal without timely medical attention. The disease develops with severe long-term infection or with a number of chronic pathologies, which leads to general intoxication of the body and depletion of its reserve capabilities.

As a rule, the cause of cachectic fever is viral diseases such as rubella, chicken pox, measles, infectious mononucleosis and others. Less commonly, the disease can be triggered by bacterial pathogens - salmonellosis, tularemia, brucellosis and other pathogens. In addition, fungal microorganisms can cause fever.
