Abstract
The term fever of unknown origin (FUO) indicates febrile illnesses with a temperature above 38.3 °C for which an etiological diagnosis has not yet been formulated after 3 days of hospitalization or after three specialist visits. Certainly, in this context, the clinical laboratory provides essential elements to guide the etiological diagnosis.
