Hello dear. I have gone through the details. The most likely cause of fever will be an occult infection. He requires repeat cultures of urine and blood, bacterial as well fungal and screening for viral infections. A CT scan of chest and ultrasonography of abdomen may also be required to check for the source of infection elsewhere. Hope that makes it clear. Regards
