    Abstract:
    A case of a 75-year-old male with a history of aortic valve disease hospitalised due to pyrexia of unknown origin is reported. Initially the patient was diagnosed with infective endocarditis due to persistent pyrexia, history of valve disease, single positive blood culture and echocardiographic scan suggesting infective endocarditis. Treatment with two strong antibiotics did not bring expected amelioration. Patient's hemodynamic status remained unchanged. After several weeks of hospitalization X-ray scan revealed involved hilar lymph nodes, which was confirmed by CT scan of the chest. The patient was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. He died three months after initiation of chemotherapy.
