* Most cases of fever are due to self-limiting viral infections, especially upper respiratory tract infections and childhood exanthemas. * Urinary tract infections are common. * More severe infections should always be considered, e.g. meningitis, pneumonia, osteomyelitis, septic Arthritis, AIDs. * Recent foreign travel should prompt consideration of referral to secondary care for full investigations for tropical infections, e.g. malaria. * Non-infection causes of fever include connective tissue disorders, allergy, thyrotoxicosis and malignancy. * Disorders of thermoregulation: temperature can suddenly rise up to as high as 41.7°C (107°F) in life threatening condition such as heatstroke, thyroid storm, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, malignant hyperthermia and in certain CNS disorders. * One of the most common causes of night or nocturnal fever is Malaria infection. Diagnosis can be made through microscopic film identification of the parasite in a blood sample.
