From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Fever       (Deut. 28:22; Matt. 8:14; Mark 1:30; John 4:52; Acts 28:8), a       burning heat, as the word so rendered denotes, which attends all       febrile attacks. In all Eastern countries such diseases are very       common. Peter's wife's mother is said to have suffered from a       "great fever" (Luke 4:38), an instance of Luke's professional       exactitude in describing disease. He adopts here the technical       medical distinction, as in those times fevers were divided into       the "great" and the "less."
