Fever in the afternoon

Fever can take numerous forms, including high fever and irregular fever, but the most frequent is moderate fever or afternoon cold spikes. Those who have the above-mentioned fever symptoms together with respiratory symptoms such as cough, sputum, and coughing up blood,... must be considered to have pulmonary tuberculosis. The immune system's response to microorganisms in the body is seen in this measurement. Patients with pulmonary tuberculosis have a slight fever, generally just in the afternoon, rather than a severe or uncommon fever.

Many recent studies have discovered an increase in cortisol levels in patients with acute pulmonary tuberculosis. Cortisol levels fluctuate throughout the day, peaking in the late evening and dropping in the morning, resulting in a rise in temperature from the evening and a fever in the afternoon. It should be noted that cells can alter cortisol activity, therefore not all tuberculosis patients exhibit this evident manifestation. If the fever is accompanied by the symptoms mentioned before pulmonary tuberculosis should be considered.
