The most common cause of fever of unknown origin (FUO) is infectious disease, followed less frequently by collagen vascular disease, and malignancy. Most children with FUO have a common disorder that is atypical in presentation. A history and physical examination are vital and should be repeated until a diagnosis is established. Specific laboratory tests and diagnostic imaging studies should be ordered based on the clinical evaluation. Children with FUO have a better prognosis than adults; most can expect full recovery.
不明原因发热(FUO)最常见的病因是传染病,其次是胶原血管病和恶性肿瘤,相对少见。大多数不明原因发热的儿童患有一种临床表现不典型的常见疾病。病史和体格检查至关重要,应反复进行直至确诊。应根据临床评估安排特定的实验室检查和诊断性影像学检查。不明原因发热的儿童预后比成人好;大多数有望完全康复。
