Abstract:
The present report concerns a 35-yr-old Caucasian male who had suffered from episodic fever of unknown origin over a period of 13 yr. Extensive investigation covering all the known causes of fever of unknown origin did not yield a diagnosis. Finally, a psychogenic cause was considered, and treatment with a psychotropic drug and relaxation therapy led to complete disappearance of the febrile periods.
