title: Assessment of fever in HIV-infected patients.
abstract: Fever is common among HIV-infected patients. Because it may signal a serious, potentially fatal underlying infection, a thorough investigation is merited. Where does evaluation begin and end? Drs Gleckman and Czachor discuss a diagnostic approach for primary care physicians that emphasizes rapid identification of the source of fever.
