Workup and TX The patient had been under treatment by ceftriaxon and azithromycin because of respiratory compliants and fever Insulin(lantus and novarapid) for high BS during BS charts And pantazol,acetaminophen PRN

PULMUNOLOGY CONSULT Signs and symptoms of patient are compatible with atypical pneumonia Consolidation was seen in LLL Antibiotic regimen is suitable If fever unresolved another CXR would be done Because of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia other causes should be R/O

CARDIOLOGY CONSULT ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY was normal Preserved right and left function NOT any evidence of endocarditis If symptoms unresolved after 7 days TEE should be done

Infection speciallity consult B/C *2 U/A and U/C ESR and CRP Wright and coombs wright Pbs for malaria*3 Maliglancy and collagen vascular disease should be R/O

HEMATOLOGY CONSULT Patient's bycytopenia is due to peripheral destruction B12 & Folic acid prescribed

INFECTIOUS CONSULT IF PATIENT is dischargable from endocrinology ward can be transfered to infectious ward

Prolonged fever commonly see patients with prolonged fever many different possible etiologies Infectious, neoplastic and inflammatory or autoimmune disorders diagnostic approach should be based on any potential clues in the patient's history, physical examination, and routine screening blood tests and cultures

Splenomegaly and fever infectious causes: such as bacterial (typhoid fever, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, or AIDS with M. avium complex) fungal agents (histoplasmosis) more commonly splenomegaly results from parasitic diseases such as malaria and leishmaniasis. Viruses such asEpstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV), or hepatitis viruses rarely cause this degree of organomegaly.

DIAGNOSIS? The previous history of complete health, and the abrupt onset of high fever all argue for an acute rather than a chronic smoldering disease :such as an infiltrative, or a chronic hematologic neoplastic disease
