Without fever or not producing fever; having a normal body temperature.
From Greek 'a-' (without) + 'pyretos' (fever). The medical term emerged in the 1800s to distinguish febrile from afebrile conditions.
Doctors often look for 'apyretic' patients as a sign of recovery, but surprisingly, the fever itself isn't the enemy—it's your body's defense mechanism that kills invading bacteria and viruses by cooking them!
