| Core Tip |
This study evaluates the feasibility of revising fever of unknown origin (FUO) diagnostic criteria in a tertiary care setting in North India. It proposes a new definition (Definition B), which includes fever lasting 3-21 days, temperatures between 99.1°F-100.9°F, and hospitalization for over 7 days. The findings highlight the predominance of infections as the leading etiology, the low applicability of classical FUO criteria, and the importance of adapting diagnostic frameworks to local epidemiology. This approach aims to enhance early diagnosis, optimize resource use, and improve patient outcomes in resource-limited settings. |
