Common Types of Fevers

1. Intermittent fever: the body temperature alternates at regular intervals between periods of fever and periods of normal or subnormal temperature.

2. Remittent fever: a wide range of temperature fluctuation (more than 2 0c) occurs over the 24 hr period, all of which are above normal

3. Relapsing fever: short febrile periods of a few days are interspersed with periods of 1 or 2 days of normal temperature.

4. Constant fever: the body temperature fluctuates minimally but always remains above normal
