Fever itself can worsen psoriasis. Apart from fever any painkillers/fever medications (commonly NSAIDs) can also lead to increase in the lesions of psoriasis. Another common cause is when people get treated with chloroquine for the fever (supposing it as malaria fever). This leads to sudden aggravation of psoriasis.
