Tuberculosis is the most frequent cause of fever from unknown etiology. On the other hand, mediastinal tuberculous adenopathy (TBM), without associated pulmonary affection is a rare form of presentation among adults, generally evolving with sustained fever until a thoracic radiology is performed showing mediastinal enlargement. We present a case which started as fever from unknown etiology (FUE), given that, according to the thoracic radiology performed one month after the onset of fever, no mediastinal affection was observed.
结核病是不明原因发热最常见的病因。另一方面，无相关肺部病变的纵隔结核性淋巴结肿大（TBM）在成人中是一种罕见的表现形式，通常在进行胸部放射学检查显示纵隔增大之前，会持续发热。我们报告一例起初表现为不明原因发热（FUE）的病例，因为在发热开始一个月后进行的胸部放射学检查未发现纵隔病变。
