Final Approach
Hi all
I was wondering if anyone here had heard of this or experienced it or knew anything about it...
an acquaintance of mine in France (owner of a B&B where I've stayed a few times now - I've become friends with the family) is roughly 70 give or take and has had (as his wife puts it) a PUO of long duration. Pyrexia of Unknown Origin I believe it is. i.e. a prolonged fever of three months now - not sure how high, likely only a few degrees but that still is bad.
Any ideas of what may cause this? I am sure they are seeing doctors but given that they are British living in France, utterly no idea how thorough the medical care would be for them.
If anyone has any advice I may offer them, that would be great.
thanks
Beth
