Fever is one of the most frequent reasons for seeking medical consultation. Fever is a sign of an infection, systemic illness, inflammatory disorders, or malignancy. However, infections, especially viral infections are the most common cause of fever. In the past few decades, the world has witnessed resurgence of many infections in new forms! Besides, new etiological agents have surfaced and have caused serious epidemics resulting in considerable morbidity and mortality, besides causing public health issues. Infections, such as dengue, chikungunya, scrub typhus, swine flu, bird flu, and COVID-19, have caused significant health burden globally and in India. Diagnosis and management of these conditions is challenging owing to environmental, epidemiological, and socioeconomic factors, overlapping presentations, and emergence of antimicrobial resistance. The emergence of rare fevers has underscored the importance of increased awareness, early detection, and prevention. This book, “New-Age Fevers: Aid to Clinical Practice,” by Dr. Hemant Thacker, is a concise and practical guide, addressing both general and new-age fevers that are prevalent in India. It will surely serve as a valuable resource for family physicians by providing updated information on the diagnostic clues and treatment approaches.
