This document discusses pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO), defined as a fever over 38°C for at least 3 weeks without an identifiable cause despite investigations. It lists common causes of fever including infections, tissue injury, malignancy, drugs, and immune or inflammatory disorders. For PUO, a diagnostic strategy is outlined including comprehensive history, exam, routine tests, cultures, imaging like chest x-ray, ultrasound or gallium scan, and biopsy if needed to identify systemic infections, occult abscesses, tumors, or non-infectious inflammatory diseases as potential causes. The diagnostic challenge of PUO is to systematically evaluate and rule out common causes through appropriate testing and imaging studies.
