Hello there,
Welcome to healthcare magic.A raised ESR/erythrocyte sediment rate is a vague marker, which is raised in most of infections, in different types of vaculitis, arthritis.In your husbands case, it needs to be corelated well with a detailed history, as to what other problems he has, apart from fever and since when. So kindly keep us posted.
