Clinically speaking, the course of fever gives important differential diagnostic clues:
Continuous
Uniformly high temperatures, e.g. in typhus, pneumococcal pneumonia, brucellosis.
Remittent
Differences between morning and evening temperatures of more than 33.8 °F without remission of fever in the morning, e.g. in tuberculosis, sinusitis, bronchial pneumonia, viral infections, rheumatic fever.
Intermittent
Daily fluctuations of more than 33.8 °F and a minimal temperature at or below the normal value, e.g. in septic processes, abscesses, acute pyelonephritis, malaria tropica.
Recurrent
Regular, periodic episodes of fever interrupted by one to several days without fever, e.g. in malaria, recurrent fever, cholangitis.
Undulating
With a long rise, or fall to normal temperatures, respectively, over a period of days, and periods without fever, e.g. in Hodgkin's disease, brucellosis.
Fever with chills
Rapid rise in fever to high levels associated with severe muscular contractions, e.g. in septicemia, bacterial endocarditis, pneumonia, and also allergic reactions and transfusion incidents.
