Background:
Peripherally inserted central catheter lines are increasingly common as medical innervation advances. Peripherally inserted central catheter lines are generally well tolerated with few complications, the most common being pain, bleeding, line dislodgement or blockage. However, there are more serious complications such as line sepsis.
Case Presentation:
We present a case of a 32-year-old Indian woman with recurrent fever in the context of sterile peripherally inserted central catheter lines.
Conclusion:
Noninfectious fevers can occur in patients with peripherally inserted central catheter lines with the underlying mechanism not being certain.
