HI

Thanks for posting to HealthcareMagic.

Fever most of the time is due to infection. Infection could be due to Virus , bacterial , fungus or Parasite. But fever of 102 F lasting for 3 weeks is most likely due to Bacterial infection.

Now which bacterial infection you are having has to be evaluated. I advise you to get the following tests done and revert back.

IgM Typhi Dot, Smear for Malaria Parasite, Urine Culture, IgM Letospira antibodies, Monteaux test.

Kindly revert back with test reports.

Regards.
