| Extrapulmonary tuberculosis is the most frequent cause of FUO.<ref name="Harrison">[http://books.mcgraw-hill.com/medical/harrisons/ Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine] 16th Edition, The McGraw-Hill Companies, ISBN 0-07-140235-7</ref> | | *[[Extrapulmonary tuberculosis]]<ref name="Harrison">[http://books.mcgraw-hill.com/medical/harrisons/ Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine] 16th Edition, The McGraw-Hill Companies, ISBN 0-07-140235-7</ref> |
| Drug fever, as sole symptom of an adverse reaction to medication, should always be thought of. Disseminated granulomatoses such as [[Tuberculosis]], [[Histoplasmosis]], [[Coccidioidomycosis]], [[Blastomycosis]] and [[Sarcoidosis]] are associated with FUO. | | *[[Drug fever]] |

| [[Lymphoma]]s are the most common cause of FUO in adults. Thromboembolic disease (i.e. [[pulmonary embolism]], [[deep venous thrombosis]]) occasionally shows [[fever]]. Although infrequent, its potentially lethal consequences warrant evaluation of this cause. [[Endocarditis]], although uncommon, is another important thing to consider. An underestimated reason is factitious [[fever]]. Patients frequently are women that work, or have worked, in the medical field and have complex [[medical history|medical histories]].<ref name="Mandell"> | | *[[Histoplasmosis]] |
