Then she had a viral infection since march when the first lab was done and now second lab was done& its same.she's been running fever for 12 weeks?

Not viral: A fever for 12 weeks is not due to a viral infection. This is called a "Fever of Unknown Origin" and has an involved and extensive workup. Please see a competent family doctor, internist, or infectious disease specialist to get the ball rolling.
