This paper deals with the design and development of a rule based expert system for diagnosis of fever, a common health disorder among Africans. This system interacts with users with plain English language based on some arranged rules. These rules, which are a typical collection of if/then rules, are extracted from experts in the medical fields in Nigeria. Using these rules, a knowledge base was designed for the expert system. Some programming codes were also written in VB.Net for making deduction of new facts from rules in the knowledge base. It is believed that this design can help to reduce the congestion we often see in our hospitals by providing solution for sick patients, irrespective of their locations.
