Recently, we managed the case of a young HIV-positive man with a pyrexial illness and severe constitutional symptoms, the cause of which was elusive for several weeks. Here we review the causes of pyrexia of unknown origin in HIV-positive individuals, review appropriate investigations and discuss possible empirical treatment when this is required.

Key Words: HIV • diagnosis
