Abstract
Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is a challenging condition in the practice of internal medicine. It frequently requires use of complicated tests and applications in the diagnostic workup. We here report a patient presented with FUO who was diagnosed with osteomyelitis by biopsy after a positive Fludeoxyglicose Positron Emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan.

Summary
Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is a challenging condition in the practice of internal medicine [1]. We here report a patient presented with FUO who was diagnosed with osteomyelitis by biopsy after a positive Fludeoxyglicose Positron Emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan. This treatment was followed by pancytopenia and high grade fever. Blood cultures were obtained and they revealed Klebsiella pneumoniae colonization.
