Abstract

Introduction: FUO causes many problems and confusions to the patients and physicians. This research was conducted to determine FUO diagnostic factors in KERMANSHAH SINA hospital during 1991- 2003. Material and Methods: This cross- sectional- descriptive study covered 72 patient folders, admitted at SINA hospital with diagnosis of FUO during 1991- 2003. The needed data about this variables were collected and analyzed.The included: These age, gender, residential place, final diagnosis, ESR, URP, fever pattern and, fever duration before being hospitalized.Findings: The results of this study showed that only 58% of the patients have correct criteria for FUO while 42% proved the opposite for FUO. Among the main groups of diseases that can produce FUO the highest percentage belonged to undiagnosed causes (62%) which stood before infections. Infections causes of FUO included: extra pulmonary TB (20%), sepsis with unknown source (15%), pneumonia (10%), UTI (10%), empyema (10%), and sinusitis (10%).The highest range of age in FUO admitted patients was 30-55 y/o (45%), followed by 15-30 y/o (35%), and the last>55 y/o (19%). It is to mention that 15 y/o children were not admitted at this hospital. Conclusion: Compared to other finds previously achieved, The results of this research are somehow the same, but in some cases, they are unexpected. For example, no defining criteria was found for FUO diagnosis in 42% of the patients, the high percentage of 62% for unknown causes as well as finding no neoplasm disorders helped the case. However, the researcher suggests a checklist to be prepared for any admitted patients to see for any FUO.
