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:

  1. Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR vaccine has been controlling these)
  2. Strep, and Meningitis
  3. Flu, Bronchitis, Upper Respiratory Infection, viral or bacterial
  4. The Plague
  5. Ebola virus

As just ONE example of a non-contagious problem that can produce fever:

  1. inflammation in the body, from ANY cause, such as cancer, which is never contagious
