Prolonged subfebrile temperature and its clinical significance

Abstract

Prolonged low-grade fever as a symptom is of great and at the same time different clinical significance. Its misinterpretation is always fraught with undesirable consequences for the patient, since either it entails a delayed diagnosis in cases where timely energetic therapy is required, or leads to the so-called overdiagnosis, that is, the setting of an inappropriate more serious diagnosis with a prolonged interruption of the patient from work, long bed rest and inevitable in such cases, mental and iatrogenic trauma.
