AB KEY  POINTSFever  should  prompt  investigation  into  potential  infectious  as  well  as  noninfectious  etiologies.Treatment  with  empiric  antibiotics  may  be  indicated  in  particular  in  patients  with  other  signs  of  sepsis  such  as  tachycardia  and  hypotension.Fever  may  also  be  caused  by  potentially  life-threatening  noninfectious  syndromes  such  as  thromboembolic  disease  and  it  is  important  to  investigate  these  possibilities  as  well.
