Bleeding time may increase during fever due to several factors, including the activation of the immune response and changes in blood coagulation. Fever can lead to alterations in platelet function and a decrease in the availability of clotting factors, both of which can impair hemostasis. Additionally, inflammatory mediators released during fever can affect vascular integrity, potentially prolonging bleeding time. These physiological changes can collectively contribute to an increased risk of bleeding.
