    Author: Murk JL, de Vries AC, GeurtsvanKessel CH, Aron G, Osterhaus AD, Wolthers KC, Fraaij PL.
    Journal: J Clin Virol; 2014 Nov; 61(3):453-5. PubMed ID: 25281281.
    Abstract:
    We here report a 7 year old acute myeloid leukemia patient with persistent spiking fever likely caused by chronic echovirus 20 infection. After immunoglobulin substitution fevers subsided and the virus was cleared. Enterovirus infection should be considered in immunocompromised patients with unexplained persistent fever.
