Overview

Based upon the work of Petersdorf and Beeson, Durack and Street classified fever of unknown origin(FUO) into four distinct categories in 1991:[1]

  1. Classic FUO
  2. Neutropenic FUO
  3. HIV related FUO
  4. Nosocomial FUO[2]

Classification

Classic FUO[3]

  • Fever above 38.3° C (100.9° F)
  • For more than three weeks
  • No diagnosis after work up for at least three visits in outdoor or three days of stay in hospital.

Neutropenic FUO

  • Fever above 38.3° C (100.9° F)
  • Absolute neutrophil count not more than 500 cells per mm³
  • Minimum diagnostic work up for at least three days.

HIV associated FUO

  • Known HIV case
  • Fever above 38.3° C (100.9° F)
  • Time span of more than four weeks for non hospitalized while 3 days for hospitalized patients.

Nosocomial FUO

  • Patient in hospital for at least 24 hours
  • Absence of fever or incubating fever at admission
  • Minimum diagnostic workup for at least three days.
