Ein Zustand, bei dem die Körpertemperatur höher ist als normal, oft als Reaktion auf eine Krankheit oder Infektion.
The German word "Fieber" means "fever". It refers to an elevated body temperature, usually indicating illness or infection. "Fieber" doesn't have separable components with individual meanings as it is not a compound word. Words with similar meanings include "Temperatur" (temperature), specifically when used in a medical context to refer to body temperature, and "Erhöhung" as in "Temperaturerhöhung" (increase in temperature). However, "Fieber" specifically denotes the medical condition of having a fever, whereas "Temperatur" can refer to any kind of temperature.
