What Causes Night Sweats With Continuous Fevers?
My dad has a sed rate over 100, night sweats, and continuous fevers. No other symptoms. All other blood work is normal. He has had 2 extensive physical exams and the doctors have not found anything. Chest xray was negative. Urine and blood cultures negative. He is very healthy...good diet, works out everyday. No other health issues. Is it possible that this is an exotic infection of some sort...or more likely lymphoma?
