Shingles can potentially cause fever symptoms. Generally, if the shingles are mild and there is no systemic infection or secondary bacterial infection, fever symptoms may not occur. However, if the shingles are severe and lead to a decrease in the body's resistance following a viral infection, which then causes a secondary bacterial infection or systemic symptoms, fever can occur.
