The mass of evidence so far presented indicates that fever per se has a definite therapeutic value. Its range of application is such that it merits the consideration of the general practitioner as well as the specialist. Unfortunately, the many articles dealing with this procedure are widely scattered throughout the medical literature. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to review the therapeutic applications of electrically induced fever as well as briefly to outline the proper technic...References1.
