From what I know, yes, a fever is a result of the immune system's response to a medical condition that a person may have. In some cases it could be something very minor such as the flu, various skin inflammations like boils, infections such as malaria, cancers, and many more things. This is because of Hypothalamus, aka the bodies immediate nerve responses (from the brain) to these infections and diseases that are now in the body. This response is brought on by the body in order to combat the loss of heat that the body may have due to vasoconstriction (narrowing of arteries/veins), and the bodies over compensations due to the invading substance/disease/infection (whatever you want to call it.
