New FCID teaching video - How to do an Infectious Diseases Consultation: Fever of Unknown Origin.
The consult that humbles everyone, eventually.
A structured approach to FUO...and when to stray off the path and “go for the money.”

Among adults with classic #FUO, CRP>60mg/L, ferritin <500 ng/mL, and procalcitonin >1.5 ng/mL may be useful in discriminating infections from non-infectious causes!
#FUO referrals to me at our Johns Hopkins FUO Center are always welcome!
Did #Bartonella henselae play a role in the deaths of 2 #veterinarians? Perhaps, yes..... http://1.usa.gov/1IjlmPZ #bacteria #FUO #zoonosis
