A fever by itself is not contagious. Fever is a generic symptom and sign that only says the body is fighting something. It is what is causing the fever that MAY be contagious.
Contagious WITH fever as well:
- Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR vaccine has been controlling these)
- Strep, and Meningitis
- Flu, Bronchitis, Upper Respiratory Infection, viral or bacterial
- The Plague
- Ebola virus
As just ONE example of a non-contagious problem that can produce fever:
- inflammation in the body, from ANY cause, such as cancer, which is never contagious
