Features: Based on the original edition, this book expands the scope of identification, broadens diagnostic thinking, and adds nearly 500 cases, along with additional disease types, tests, and examination methods (over 30 in total). The book is divided into two parts: General Principles and Specific Diseases. The General Principles section primarily includes: mechanisms and general patterns of fever, clinical classification, fever duration and patterns; common and rare diseases and their dialectical relationship; diagnostic clues for various fever-related diseases, atypical manifestations of non cases; precautions for history-taking and physical examinations; summaries of the significance and role of various autoantibodies, infectious antibodies, tumor markers, biochemistry, enzyme profiles, cells, pathology, and surgical explorations; widely collected diseases that often or commonly present with fever in combination with other symptoms or signs, helping to narrow the diagnostic range and reduce missed diagnoses; and reference suggestions for diagnostic procedures and steps for fever-related diseases.
The Specific Diseases section emphasizes the principle of learning from practice, selecting 295 common or fever-associated diseases and groups. For each disease, it provides an introduction to its name, concept, symptoms, clinical types, examination methods, and diagnostic criteria, aiming to achieve a preliminary understanding of the disease. Some entries include clinical statistical data to further familiarize readers with the disease. The clinical cases are primarily collected from major domestic journals and magazines, as well as approximately 1,700 cases from abroad, including 179 cases diagnosed by the author or their colleagues. The focus is on common, different, and special clinical types, with selective inclusion. Through examples, the book broadens diagnostic perspectives and enhances intuitive and experiential knowledge.
