High Fever

High fever is also another significant sign of blood infection. Its also known as hyperthermia or pyrexia, and it happens when the body recorded temperature rises above the normal. You find that the normal human body temperature is around 37°C. If the temperature rises above that, you find that the individual experiences fever where to body tries to increase the metabolic rate to try and regain the normal body temperature. Temperature fluctuations happen when the bacteria infects the blood, and the body attempts to destroy the bacteria as some bacteria can’t survive oh higher temperatures beyond the normal body temperature.
