摘要
On the basis of strong clinical evidence, the causes of FUO are broad and include both benign and life-threateningmedical conditions. (12) · On the basis of observational studies,most cases of FUO have shifted to noninfectious etiologies over the past several decades. (10) · On the basis of observational studies, completely normal physical examination findings at the time of the initial FUO evaluation suggest a benign underlying cause. (13) · On the basis of consensus and expert opinion, a stepwise, tiered approach to FUO should be implemented to decrease cost and time to diagnosis. (13).
