Abstract：
Fever has roles both in host defense against infectious challenges and in guidance of medical intervention. These roles remain insufficiently acknowledged and considered by both health care providers and patients and their families. This review cites reports in support of both roles and provides recommendations regarding the clinician\'s approach to fever, as well as points relevant for education of patients and their families.
摘要：
发热在宿主防御传染性挑战和指导医疗干预方面都有作用。这些角色仍然没有得到卫生保健提供者和患者及其家人的充分认可和考虑。这篇综述引用了支持这两种角色的报告，并提供了关于临床医生治疗发烧的建议，以及与患者及其家属教育有关的要点。
