PUO stands for "pyrexia of unknown origin," which refers to a fever that lasts for an extended period (typically over three weeks) without an identifiable cause after thorough investigation. It can be associated with various conditions, including infections, malignancies, autoimmune diseases, and more. Diagnosing PUO often requires a comprehensive evaluation, including laboratory tests and imaging studies, to uncover the underlying issue. Management focuses on treating the underlying cause once identified.
