Is it serious if a child has recurrent fever?

Patient's question:

Child is 6 years old, undergoing intravenous infusion for the second day today. Yesterday: Adenovirus (ADV-Ab) IgM was weakly positive, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) IgM was positive, EB virus capsid antibody IgM was repeatedly positive. Is severe fever a concern? I also need to consult.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in this current situation, we need to consider the possibility of a viral infection. IgM positivity indicates recent transmission. We should take the baby for a follow-up visit in pediatrics at this time. Our test results only suggest the presence of a viral infection, and the severity of symptoms must be assessed through a physical examination. The above advice is for the question "Is it serious if a 6-year-old child has a fever repeatedly on the second day of IV treatment?" We hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
