Bacterial Disorders Forum - Persistant Fever

This probably doesn't belong here becuase I think it's a virus.

Anyhow.. My girlfriend acquired a high fever over 2 weeks ago. Since then she has seen her doctor, who in the beginning sent her home telling her to take tylinol ,get rest, and let her body fight it off. Her condition did not improve and when she called her doctor back a week later, he told her to get to emergency and have them run some blood tests etc. She did that and her blood checked out fine. They didnt' find any bacteria and then referred her to an internal medicine specialist. The specialist hasnt' yet found anything but she's going to see him again tomorrow. I feel as though she's getting quite the run around.. As it's been over 2 weeks now, and without tylinol, her fever spikes to 104 fahrenheit.

The only thing that might be causal is that she went for a cleaning at her dentist about 3 or 4 days before the fever developed. She has no infection or irritation in her mouth though.

She is taking imuran on a daily basis (has been for 3 years) because she has crohns .. And is on the imuran to prevent it from recurring. Thing is, in the 8 years i've been with her.. She hardly ever gets sick, and never runs a fever. Even though she's been on imuran for years now, she only gets the odd cold or two a year, and fights them off easily.

Her doctor is now worried that whatever virus she has, is mutating.

If anyone's got some suggestions i'm all ears. At this point, I think she should be kept for a few days at a hospital to be tested further and monitored.
