Many: Lots of viruses can cause a high fever - influenza (flu) is one of them.  Colds can cause fevers too.  So can the "stomach flu" - which are often viruses.

See doctor: Yes, you can have both= different germs and different systems being infected.  While UTI symptoms can go away, it does not mean the UTI went away.

Medium: The importance of the temperature depends on the whole story.
