Features: Fever is a very common symptom in clinical practice, and almost every day, patients with unexplained fever seek medical attention during internal medicine diagnosis and treatment. The causes are numerous and involve various clinical disciplines. The diagnosis of acute fever patients is generally easier to determine, but the etiology of unexplained prolonged fever (FUO) patients is more complex and poses significant challenges in clinical management. Although modern medical diagnostic techniques are highly advanced, the differential diagnosis of unexplained fever remains a major for clinicians. Therefore, there is a strong need for a clinical guide that can navigate the complexities of unexplained fever. For this purpose, we have compiled this manual.
This book is divided into 9 chapters. The 5 general chapters introduce the symptomatology, diagnostic techniques, diagnostic procedures, and clinical thinking for fever in special populations. The 4 specific chapters focus on the clinical manifestations and differential diagnostic key points of the four major causes of unexplained fever: infectious diseases, malignant tumors, connective tissue diseases, and drug fever.
The book features a novel format, rich content, and references extensive domestic and international literature. It incorporates the latest achievements of modern medicine, particularly evidence-based medicine research. Primarily presented in the form of tables and charts, it systematically introduces the diagnostic procedures and thought processes for unexplained fever. The language is concise, with key points emphasized, making it easy to consult and carry. It is an indispensable quick-reference manual for clinicians.
