Non-characteristic fever is an excellent example to demonstrate how basic research in general practice has raised the level of dealing with one of the most frequently met problems in primary care. Especially diagnostic protocols and the casugraphy are very helpful tools of the family physician (general practitioner-) instead of coping with the problem of limited time and means and lack of an appropriate education by experience and intuition only.
