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
