Overview

As medical science advanced and investigations like CT scan came in use many causes of FUO were discovered.^[1]^[2]

CT scan

Chest CT Scan

CT scan of the chest may detect nodular lesions (suggestive of malignancy, fungal, mycobacterial, or nocardial infection) and mediastinal adenopathy (suggestive of lymphoma, histoplasmosis, or sarcoidosis).^[3]

Abdominal CT Scan

An abdominal CT scan may show intra-abdominal abscess or malignancy of the visceral organs
