A member asked:
When i'm ill i rarely get a fever and my blood tests are always normal. does this suggest i am immuneocompromised?

Not at all: The body can effectively fight off most infections without eliciting a fever response or recruitment of immune cells that would show up in blood tests.

Just the opposite: If you are outwardly healthy, you can be quite sure you are not immunocompromised. Lack of fever with illness and normal blood tests (complete blood count, etc) suggest a strong immune system, not a weakened one.
