据《美国医学论坛报》老年人就诊时要注意其有否发热迹象,因为发热可能是患者病情严重的表现。美国加州家庭医师学会新当选会长Brunton医师说,病人时常不知道自己在发热,因此初级保健医师更需要学会在没有明显症状和情况下发现发热迹象。 According to “American Medical Tribune” elder visits should pay attention to whether there is signs of fever, because fever may be a serious manifestation of the patient’s condition. Dr. Brunton, a newly elected president of the California Institute of Family Physicians, said patients often do not know they are feverish, so the primary care physician needs to learn to find signs of fever in the absence of overt symptoms.
