Narrative:
After my break I returned to the cockpit and advised the [relief pilot] who was relieving the first pilot that I felt like I was running a fever; which I most certainly was. I felt it was either a uti; or bladder infection. Onset was rapid; and decline was rapid. I realized the safest course of action was to have the first officer's (first officer) make the landing. The first officer's contacted ATC and dispatch and [requested priority handling]. Sudden onset of illness; resulting in high fever. Hydrate more. Three 3-day trips in a row with one day off between each. Most certainly I have been running dehydrated.
