Testing needed: If you have documented fevers for 3 weeks, you have a fever of unknown origin which warrants evaluation and testing by a specialist in internal medicine or infectious diseases. The workup involves a thorough history and system review, complete physical examination, multiple cultures, scans, searches for infection, autoimmune diseases, malignancies. Hospitalization may be recommended for the tests.
