Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Remittent fever fluctuates considerably (i.e., by more than 3 degrees) and never returns to the normal range. Continuous fever rises and falls only slightly during a 24-hour period. The temperature consistently remains above the patient's average normal temperature range and fluctuates less than 3 degrees. Intermittent fever comes and goes, alternating between elevated and normal levels.
