Fever of unknown origin: An evidence-based review
2012, American Journal of the Medical SciencesCitation Excerpt :An etiologic diagnosis can be made in more than 70% of cases of older patients with FUO (>65 years), whereas up to 51% of adults of all ages with FUO remain undiagnosed despite extensive workup.18,43,44 Because many of the causative diseases are treatable, an aggressive approach should be considered in investigating the etiology of FUO in older patients.45 The relatively frequent causes of FUO in patients older than 65 years are shown in Table 6.40,44,46

2005, Lancet OncologyCitation Excerpt :Moreover, fever of unknown origin was also associated with more-advanced disease and a poor outlook. Previous studies1,2,7,9,11,13,14 of patients with fever of unknown origin and subsequent cancer risk have included about 1200 people in total, and the recorded distribution of cancers was similar to that noted for the first year of follow-up in this study in that the most common malignant diseases were Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Nearly all common cancers have been noted in previously published case studies of fever of unknown origin, although lymphoma and kidney cancer are most frequently reported.
