Abstract
Disease and infection are almost invariably accompanied by the symptom of fever. Indeed, fever may often be the diagnostic sign that such an infection is present and can be used in the diagnosis of specific diseases. In fact, from the detailed descriptions of fevers given by Hippocrates, it is even possible to identify specific ailments (Atkins and Bodel 1979).
