A method of treating illness by artificially inducing fever in the human body. Founded in 1917 by J. Wagner von Jaureg, it is primarily used as a specific treatment for syphilitic diseases of the central nervous system. High fevers are induced by administering malaria or typhoid vaccines, which then treat the disease. The idea was inspired by the fact that syphilis spirochetes are sensitive to high fevers, but nowadays the impact of the shock (non-specific effect) is more important.
