Fever, Low-Grade<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
- In Western medicine, low-grade fever denotes a consistent body temperature of 98.6-100.4℉ for over two weeks. In TCM, low-grade fever also includes a feeling of heat (a hot spell) without necessarily an increase in temperature. This may be seen in rheumatic disorders, hyperthyroidism, vegetative neurosis and other metabolic, endocrine and nutritional disorders, as well as in chronic infectious conditions such as TB, stomatitis, cholecystitis, chronic nephritis and chronic hepatitis.<o:p></o:p>
