Abstract
Almost by definition, diagnostic evaluation of a patient with fever of unknown origin remains a challenging problem. Before turning to lengthy checklists and a battery of sophisticated invasive procedures, the physician should pursue all possibilities suggested by the patient's clinical and epidemiologic history. Four illustrative cases are presented to exemplify this logical approach.
