A 7-Year-Old Boy with Prolonged Fever

AbstractMorning Report is a time-honored tradition in which physicians-in-training present cases to their colleagues and clinical experts to collaboratively explore a patient's presentation. The Morning Report section continues this tradition by presenting a patient's chief concern and clinical course, inviting readers to develop a differential diagnosis and uncover the final diagnosis alongside the authors. This report details the story of a previously healthy 7-year-old boy who presented with 10 days of fever after travel to Bangladesh. Through targeted history, physical examination, and diagnostic testing, an illness script is developed. As the case progresses, the differential diagnosis is refined until a final diagnosis is established.
