10 Pernicious Anemia Symptoms
2. Fever
A fever is an increase in body temperature. Usually, the temperature should be above 38⁰C (100.4⁰F) in order to be considered as a fever, but this depends on the site where the temperature is being measured. A fever is usually a response of the body to a threat. By increasing the body’s thermostat set point, we start to shiver to generate heat in order to reach the new temperature that has been set.
A low-grade fever might be one of the early symptoms associated with pernicious anemia. It is seen in almost a third of patients suffering from this condition. Luckily, the fever goes away as soon as the treatment starts.
