Title: How to make a universally defined definition of ‘fever’ and ‘hyperthermia’

Abstract:

Today, fever is defined as a temperature above 38 degrees Celsius (100.40 F). The same temperature is used to determine hyperthermia. The temperature of the fever is below 42 degrees, but the temperature of the hyperthermia may be above 42 degrees, but the common factor for fever and hyperthermia is only an increase in temperature of more than 38 degrees. Fever and hyperthermia are treated by lowering the temperature because there is no distinction between fever and hyperthermia and it is not known what the temperature of the fever is. And the fever is believed to be a symptom and is dangerous. In such a situation there is no other way but to reduce the body temperature as in hyperthermia. Therefore, no specific definition, diagnosis, or treatment is required to distinguish between fever and hyperthermia. So many questions arose as to the purpose of the fever temperature and the difference between fever and hyperthermia. Its symptoms, signs, signals, and activity are separated from each other and it necessitates a new definition, diagnosis, and treatment of fever and hyperthermia. Researchers agree that fever, and ‘hyperthermia’, are not yet universally defined1 and that there is no basic knowledge of fever in the modern medical literature. There is no similarity between what happens when there is a fever and what happens when there is hyperthermia, and they are contradictory.
