- W134558770 abstract "This chapter describes fever as a host defense mechanism. The English word fever stems from the Latin word febris; pyrexia is a synonym derived from the Greek word pyretos. Fever has been recorded and associated with diseases throughout history. From the beginning, it was believed to be beneficial. Thus, Hippocrates (460–370 BC), building on the earlier concepts of the four natural elements (cold and dry earth, hot and moist air, hot and dry fire, and cold and moist water) proposed four corresponding bodily humors (cold and dry black bile, hot and moist blood, hot and dry yellow bile, and cold and moist phlegm) and argued that diseases resulted when any one of these humors occurred in excess. He believed that heat—that is, fever, destroyed this noxa, and considered therefore that it was a crucial remedy in many diseases. This view of the beneficial effects of fever essentially persisted until the late nineteenth century, when clinical observations and new techniques of quantitative measurements led to the questioning of the older naturalistic and more philosophical medical concepts." @default.
