摘要
The clinical validity of fever curves remains intact. Clinicians of old were not wrong in their astute observations. The diagnostic usefulness of fever curves is best applied to difficult-to-diagnose infectious diseases where present day investigations are relatively unhelpful. Fever patterns are particularly useful in eliminating diagnoses from consideration and suggesting otherwise unsuspected disorders that may be diagnosed by further procedures.
