Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of fever theories, a medical topic that has attracted the interest of the scientific community since ancient times. The author begins with an in-depth analysis of the humoral and solidist theories of the 17th and 18th centuries, which laid the foundations for the understanding of fever as a disease of the humors or of the solids. The author then delves into the 19th century, when the development of organic chemistry and the discovery of the role of microorganisms in disease revolutionized the field of medicine. The emergence of the germ theory of disease led to a paradigm shift in fever theories, with a growing emphasis on the role of infection and inflammation in the pathogenesis of fever. The author also examines the contributions of Rudolf Virchow, who proposed a neurogenic theory of fever based on the concept of a heat-regulating center in the brain. Through its comprehensive exploration of the history of fever research, this book offers valuable insights into the scientific advancements and evolving medical understandings that have shaped our knowledge of this complex physiological response to infection and disease.
