A variety of bacterial infections can cause FUO, and these can be divided into those that are easy to identify using culture and those that require serological or molecular tests for identification. A number of viral, parasitic and fungal infections can also cause prolonged fever. This article summarises the clinical features and diagnostic strategy of these infections.}, issn = {1470-2118}, URL = {https://www.rcpjournals.org/content/15/3/285}, eprint = {https://www.rcpjournals.org/content/15/3/285.full.pdf}, journal = {Clinical Medicine} }
