Symptom #2: Fever

A fever is perhaps one of the most common symptoms that anyone is likely to encounter. Fevers are actually part of the body’s self-defense mechanism. Fever is defined as a temperature of 100.4° F or greater, measured with a thermometer.

Fever is one of the initial symptoms of Legionnaire’s disease. It can be accompanied by chills, headache, and muscle aches.
