TY - JOUR T1 - Malignant causes of fever of unknown origin JF - Clinical Medicine JO - Clin Med SP - 292 LP - 294 DO - 10.7861/clinmedicine.15-3-292 VL - 15 IS - 3 AU - Vanessa Foggo AU - Jamie Cavenagh Y1 - 2015/06/01 UR - http://www.rcpjournals.org/content/15/3/292.abstract N2 - The presence of fever in malignancy usually indicates infection, though transfusion, thrombosis and drugs are also culprits. However, particularly in some tumour types, fever can also be a paraneoplastic syndrome, caused by the malignancy itself. This can be a difficult diagnosis to establish and presents a therapeutic challenge to the physician when the underlying malignancy is not easily treated. ER -
