NF is characterized by persistent low-grade fever (typically <38.5°C) driven by tumor-associated cytokine release rather than by infectious or autoimmune causes. As a leading contributor to fever of unknown origin in oncology patients, NF is often difficult to diagnose because of its nonspecific clinical presentation and reliance on exclusion criteria.
