title: Fever of unknown origin (FUO) in an immunocompetent adult due to cytomegalovirus (CMV) with polyclonal gammopathy.
abstract: Fever of unknown origin (FUO) may be due to infection, malignancy, collagen vascular/inflammatory disorders, or other causes. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a rare cause of FUO in immunocompetent adults. We present a case of FUO due to CMV in an immunocompetent adult with polyclonal gammopathy on serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP).
