A young dog was presented with lethargy and pyrexia of 2 days duration, not responding to empirical treatment. Thorough diagnostic investigation failed to determine the cause. A retropharyngeal abscess became apparent when it eroded into the carotid artery 2 days later. This case highlights the challenging nature of fever of undetermined origin (FUO) and the value of close monitoring for diagnosis and prompt intervention.
一只幼犬出现了持续两天的嗜睡和发热症状,对经验性治疗无反应。全面的诊断性检查未能确定病因。两天后,一个咽后脓肿侵蚀到颈动脉时变得明显。这个病例凸显了不明原因发热(FUO)的挑战性,以及密切监测对于诊断和及时干预的价值。
