Fever is a common clinical manifestation in the process of different diseases, and it is also one of the most common reasons for patients to see a doctor. It is very difficult to diagnose the cause of many patients with fever in clinic, and sometimes it is impossible to clarify the cause. On the one hand, accurate diagnosis and treatment of fever has become a severe challenge and difficulty for clinicians. On the other hand, the condition of repeated fever has also brought great harm to the physical and mental health of patients. In recent years, with the continuous progress of pathogenic microorganism detection technology and the continuous improvement of modern medicine's understanding of diseases, the diagnostic accuracy of fever has improved, but the success rate of treatment for unexplained fever, difficult fever, cancerous fever, rheumatic immune fever and so on is still the pain point and bottleneck of modern medicine. The high cost of examination also brings a heavy economic burden to patients. Traditional Chinese medicine has obvious advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of fever of unknown origin based on the holistic view and with its unique academic system. Based on the syndrome differentiation system of six meridians of circular movement, this paper summarizes the ideas and experiences of diagnosis and treatment of fever of unknown origin as follows, in order to provide new ideas for its diagnosis and treatment and feed readers.
