Pyrexia. Pyrexia (fever) means the elevation of body temperature above the normal range. It may be caused by abnormalities in the brain itself or by toxic substances that affect the temperature regulating centers.
Common causes of pyrexia of unknown origin. Most cases are unusual presentations of common diseases - eg, tuberculosis, endocarditis, gallbladder disease and HIV infection, rather than rare or exotic diseases. In adults, infections and cancer (25-40% of cases each) account for most PUOs. Autoimmune disorders account for 10-20% of cases.
