A complex case of sarcoidosis fever.
Febrile episodes in a male patient with coronary artery disease and arteriovenous malformation of the spinal cord had been attributed to urinary-tract infections and pulmonary atelectasis. The autopsy findings, however, indicated that the fever may have been related to sarcoidosis which had not been detected pre mortem.
