Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an 18th-century medical text that attempts to define fever. It focuses on the range of symptoms that accompany fever. The author's emphasis on systematic observation of the disease is a contrast to the traditional speculative philosophy that medicine relied on during that time. He identifies that fever is a complex illness affecting the whole body, but not every patient experiences each symptom in the same way or at the same time. Fevers may manifest differently depending on where they are in their natural course, so no two fevers are exactly alike in their progression. Using this framework and case studies, the author attempts to provide a more comprehensive understanding of fever patterns. The book illustrates the author's dedication to defining fever to contribute to a deeper understanding of this common illness that has plagued humanity for centuries.
