Abstract

Repeatedly documented fever with temperature exceeding 38.3°C, duration of illness of more than three weeks, and failure to reach a diagnosis in one week of inpatient investigation are the classic criteria of fever of unknown origin (FUO). In this study, 34 patients with fever who fullfiiled the classic criteria of FUO were studied in the 1986-1996 period. An etioiogic diagnosis was made in 28 patients. Infection was found in 22 patients (64.7 %), tumors in three (8.8 %), collagen diseases in three (8.8 %); and no diagnosis was reached in six (17.6 %). In diagnosed six (21.4 %) invasive procedures (biopsy, needle aspiration) were necessary to establish the diagnosis. Noninvasive tests (radiologic, bacteriologic, serologic, clinical course and treatment response) were sufficient for diagnosis in 22 (78.5 %) patients.

Özet

En az üç hafta süren ateş ve hastanede yatırılarak yapılan bir haftalık inceleme sonucu tanı konulamaması, nedeni belli olmayan ateş (NBA)'ın klasik kriterleridir. Bu çalışmada klasik NBA tanımına uyan 34 hasta değerlendirilmiştir. Yirmişekiz etyolojik tanıya ulaşılmıştır. Yirmi-iki hasta (% 64.7)'da infeksiyon, üç hastada (% 8.8) neoplazma, üç hastada (% 8.8) kollagen doku hastalığı saptanmış, altı hastada (% 17.6) tanı konulamamıştır. Tanısı konulmuş olguların altısında (% 21.4) invazif bir işlem (biyopsi, iğne aspirasyonu) ile tanıya gidilmiş, 22 hastada (% 78.5) non-invazif bir işlem (radyolojik, bakteriyolojik, serolojik, klinik gidiş ve tedavi yanıtı) tanı için yeterli olmuştur.
