The word Underlying means "underneath" of "beneath". An underlying medical condition often refers to a condition that may or may not be hidden by something more obvious, and may or may not be present with another medical condition. Underlying Medical Conditions often contribute to another symptom or disease. Many underlying medical conditions may also be considered co-morbidities (co-diseases).
Examples of underlying medical conditions include:

Compromised immune system

Pathophysiology
Usually fever is more of a symptom of an underlying disease or infection.
It is generally more important to treat the underlying cause of a disease rather than just the symptoms. Treating the underlying cause can lead to long-term improvement and prevent the recurrence of symptoms. Symptom management is important for providing relief in the short term, but addressing the root cause is crucial for overall health and well-being.
