10 Lupus Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #3: Fever
Lupus can cause fevers, but they are generally not very severe. If you get a fever of over 102 degrees F when you have lupus, it may be indicative of something else. It could be an infection.
Regardless, if you develop a fever during lupus, you should consider the possibility of infection. People with lupus report very frequent but low-grade fevers that don’t usually reach far beyond 100 degrees F. These can be early signs of other problems and can also be a sign of an inflammatory breakout.
