  1. Hi everybody, I am 19 years old and since 6 months living a
    very exasperating situation because of a persistent fever of
    unknown origin. Last October I got Pharyngitis, Bronchitis
    and Tonsillitis treated by Antibiotics and Cortisone. All
    three diseases disappeared but a persistent fever of 37.5°C-
    38.5°C (99.5°F-101.3°F) stays with me since then. I have
    been twice in hospital and I made all possible clinical
    tests, but alll results were negative except one: in
    December IgE was 4877 (max is 100) and now is 2800. Every
    day when I wake up fever is usually 37.5°C (99.5°F), with
    headache, weakness and I fill ill. In the afternoon fever
    grows up to
    38.5°C (101.3°F). Besides often my lips go pale and I get
    ring around my eyes. Anyhow it's a strange fever. I give
    you an example: one day under armpit was
    39.4°C (101.12°F) and 37.4°C(99.32°F) in the groin. To be
    honest, in the lat two years I often have had a fever of
    37.2°C-37.3°C
    (40.96°F-99.14°F) with headache and weakness. Can somebody
    help me to find my sickness cause? I will appreciate
    very much because I would like to go back indeed to my
    normal life. Thank you.

    I have already gone to my doctor, obviously... he doesn't
    know what is my disease cause...

    You're in Italy? I imagine a stool sample analysis might
    catch a parasite infection. One web page said that pale lips
    can be a sign of not enough oxygen. Have you had a chest x-
    ray? Have your tonsils been looked at again (by an ear, nose
    throat doctor?)

    I wouldn't know where to go with your vague symptoms,
    and what it says below. There's so many types/causes
    of allergies, cancers, and autoimmune diseases. Is
    there a family history of any of those? Before you
    embark on possible multiple investigations, it would
    help to know more. J

    my.webmd.comhw41342.asp IgE. A
    high level of IgE can indicate a parasite infection. Also,
    high levels of IgE are found in people who have allergic
    reactions, asthma, atopic dermatitis, some types of cancer,
    and certain autoimmune diseases. Rarely, a high level of IgE
    may indicate IgE multiple myeloma.

    The etiology of FUOs is not always discernable.

    Do you feel unwell?

    Since you are 19 years old, I assume you are going to
    school or at least were going to school. You my alos have
    chnaged to a different apartment if you staretd college.

    Let me just share my experience: ABoutt he time I started
    going to a University, I also moved to an apartment not to
    far from school. Though more expensive than most apartments
    around the University, due to the humidity in that city, the
    requirement on A/C maintenance is quite a job. Naturally,
    apartment complexes and places like school, fails miserably.

    In summary, I endured lingering low grade fever for a long
    time, not realizing that the mold in the school building - I
    had taken crae of air duct cleanign of A/C in may apartment
    within a 6 monhs; it took 6 motnhs only because of the
    procrsatination of the management. and I had to threaten
    that I would report to Housing Authority - were causing it.

    My fever didn't get to 101 like yours but between 99.5-
    100.6 'F

    You may simply be allergic to mold (Allergic Rhinitis) or
    you may have Non-Allergic Rhinitis like I was diagnosed
    with. My diagnosis came after many different blood test and
    other test such as stress test, EEG test, ebcause I was just
    weak ...because my body was fighting this fever due to mold.

    Got to a *good* Allergist first and may even need to go to
    ENT (Ear Nose and Throat Specialist) if the Allergist
    recommends you to do so. In my case, the Allergist did Skin
    Allergy test, and CT Scan. I wish he did food Allergy test
    too. He probably didn't based on my answers to the
    questionnaires ont he form. would have prefered he did to
    thoroughly rule out sicne I was spenign so much money doing
    all those other tests anyway.

    Before my diagnosis, I was beginning to think that I had
    soem weird disease though I didn't have fever during school
    breaks, i.e failing to realize that my environemnt was
    causing it.

    Hope you find the culprit.

    Good Luck.

    Good luck.
