BACKGROUND Fever of unknown origin (FUO) remains a diagnostic challenge and was originally defined in 1961. Its classic criteria include fever ≥ 38.3°C (≥ 101°F) on multiple occasions, lasting three weeks or longer, diagnosis after one week inpatient evaluation. However, these may not fully encompass the varied clinical presentations seen resource-limited settings such as India. The adaptation FUO definitions to local healthcare contexts is crucial for enhancing accuracy optimizing patient...
