Abstract
Presentation is made of the case of a patient with a 4-month history of intermittent fever, unquantified weight loss and night sweating. Physical examination revealed heptosplenomegaly, with no additional alterations. Initial studies showed macrocytic-hypochromic anemia; serology tests for HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C were negative. CT of the neck reported bilateral subcutaneous cervical lymphadenopathy; biopsy was performed on one, which resulted negative for malignancy or infection. The purpose of this report is to illustrate the effectiveness of Ga-citrate 67 in the study of fever of unknown origin.
