  • Title: Fever of unknown origin in childhood: difficulties in diagnosis.
    Author: Martin K, Davies EG, Axford JS.
    Journal: Ann Rheum Dis; 1994 Jul; 53(7):429-33. PubMed ID: 7944613.
    Abstract:
    We have described a child with systemic onset juvenile chronic arthritis who presented initially with fever of unknown origin. Treatment of a presumed infection led to a severe allergic response with Stevens-Johnson syndrome, renal failure and DIC. This reaction obscured the features of the underlying disease and delayed the diagnosis.
