  • Persistent pyrexia: is when the body temperature remains high for several days. Hourly variations are marginal or absent.
  • Chills: is when the patient is shivering uncontrollably and his/her teeth are chattering with cold because the body temperature increases rapidly.
  • Remittent pyrexia is when there are marked fluctuations in body temperature during a 24 hour period, which is commonly seen during viral infections.
  • Intermittent pyrexia is when the body temperature alternates between being high and low. At some pyrexial conditions, the temperature may be normal between each peak.
