Abstract
Introduction: Fever of unknown origin (FUO) presents a significant diagnostic challenge, particularly in young patients. A 25-year-old patient presents with persistent fever, with no clear cause identified through initial investigations. Stepwise advanced diagnostics ultimately lead to an unexpected diagnosis that significantly influences treatment. This case highlights the importance of a structured and interdisciplinary approach in the evaluation of FUO.
