Abstract

Objective To analyse the characteristics and diagnostic method in the patients with fever of unknown origin(FUO).Methods The clinical data of 126 cases of FUO admitted to the Xinqiao Hospital from February 2000 to October 2007 were analyzed.Results The classic FUO induced by mainly the infective diseases(50.79%,64/126) including tuberculosis infection(31.25%,20/64) in it;malignant tumor(24.6%,31/126);connective tissue diseases(15.87%,20/126),the other diseases(3.17%,4/126) and unknown diseases(5.56%,7/126).Conclusion The main diseases in the infective,connective tissue and malignant tumor diseases were tuberculosis infection,adult Still's disease and lymphoma,respectively.The diagnostic method of FUO should be systemic and sequential and the bacterial culture,ultrasound and CT examination were done in time.The repeated puncture,biopsy and traumatic examination are helpful to clinical diagnosis.
