Clinical Approach To Fever And Pyrexia Of Unknown Origin

This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of fever as a clinical symptom, starting from its pathophysiology and measurement methods to fever patterns and classification. Special emphasis is placed on fever of unknown origin (FUO), including its epidemiology, etiologic categories, and step-by-step diagnostic approach. Through clinical reasoning, laboratory evaluation, imaging strategies, and management principles, the session aims to strengthen clinicians’ ability to evaluate acute and prolonged febrile illnesses effectively.

Following the lecture, we held a Kahoot quiz to reinforce the key concepts, awarded prizes to the top-performing students, and concluded with an interactive Q&A session.
