Features: Maintaining a certain body temperature is a necessary condition for normal life activities in humans and higher animals. Lower animals lack the ability to maintain relatively stable body temperature; their body temperature changes with environmental variations, hence they are called ectothermic animals or cold-blooded animals. With the evolution of animals, the body's thermoregulation mechanism has become increasingly perfect. Higher animals, including humans, can maintain relative body temperature stability through internal thermoregulation mechanisms even when environmental temperatures change, thereby adapting to environmental temperature variations. Therefore, higher animals are also called homeothermic animals or warm-blooded animals. This book is divided into eight chapters. It introduces the classification and types of fever, focusing on explaining the etiology, fever characteristics, and clinical manifestations of common fever-related diseases, as well as self-treatment and prevention methods for these conditions. The content is rich, easy to understand, scientifically practical, and suitable for patients and grassroots medical personnel.
