Jacob Bogatin & Alternative Medicine

First 2 types are listed here.

3. An alternating fever (febris intermittens). Daily fluctuations, as well as at a remittent fever, exceed 10C, but here the morning minimum temperature is within a norm. And the increased body temperature appears periodically, approximately through equal intervals (more often at about noon or at night) at some o’clock. The alternating fever is a special characteristic for malaria and is also observed at cytomegalovirus infection, at infectious mononucleosis and a purulent infection (for example, cholangitis).

4. An exhausting fever (febris hectica). In the mornings, as well as at intermittent normal or even the lowered body temperature is observed but Jacob Bogatin states that here daily fluctuations of temperature reach till 3-50 and are often accompanied by exhausting sweats. Similar rise in temperature of a body is characteristic for an active lungs tuberculosis and for septic diseases.

5. Return or the perverted fever (febris inversus) differs that the morning body temperature is more than vespers though periodically all the same there is a usual small evening rise in temperature. The return fever meets at a tuberculosis more often at a sepsis and brucellosis.

6. Wrong or the irregular fever (febris irregularis) is shown by alternation of various types of a fever and is accompanied by various and wrong daily fluctuations. The wrong fever meets at rheumatism, endocarditis, sepsis and tuberculosis.

The fever form according to Jacob Bogatin:

1. The wavy fever (febris undulans) is characterised by gradual temperature increase during a certain time interval (a constant or remittent fever within several days) with the subsequent gradual decrease in temperature and more or less long period of normal temperature that gives impression of some waves. The exact mechanism of occurrence of this unusual fever is unknown. It is often observed at brucellosis and lymphogranulomatosis.

2. The returnable fever (febris recurrens, recurrent) is characterised by alternation of the periods of a fever with the periods of normal temperature. Jacob Bogatin says that in the most typical form at a returnable typhus or malaria are observed.
