They certainly can.  When a virus attacks, this sets off a struggle, to rid the body  of the invading virus and the symptoms.  Fever, coughing, aches, fatigue, vomiting, etc. are signals that the body is trying to throw off the invading virus and its toxins.  Untreated, the symptoms increase, usually with serious results.

Similarly, continuous contact with an allergen produces toxins in the body, causing similar reactions to occur.  An undiagnosed or undetected allergic condition will produce conditions that are equally serious, such as disease.  Many times, the allergic reactions produce symptoms that mimic other conditions.  Just about any health condition can be a symptom of underlying allergies.  If such conditions are not diagnosed correctly, the patient may receive a treatment procedure that could further complicate and worsen his or her condition.
