Hello,

A single investigation or the test will not be enough as long as the given symptoms of fatigue, low-grade fever, swelling of lymph node etcetera are a concern because the given symptoms could be suggestive of some micro-bacterium infection of lungs.

Numbers of tests are there like Blood test, imaging studies, different type of blood test needed, like serum studies, biochemistry, in imaging studies, it includes x-ray of chest, sonography, CT imaging, then and then diagnosis will be clear, the given symptoms cannot be taken lightly, but it demands the investigations.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
