Although clinicians have long pondered the diagnostic and prognostic implications and the treatment of fever, fundamental questions remain unanswered. The value of the height or pattern of a fever in predicting the etiology or course of the illness causing it is a case in point. Whether fever is ever harmful and should, therefore, be suppressed is another. These controversies and others concerning the febrile patient are the subject of this manuscript.
