Hello
As you mentioned that there is fever with chills , weakness,( prostate surgery),WBC come down, such symptoms may be due to these reasons , these include:
1 Typhoid fever , diagnosis can be confirmed by Widal test and serology test.
2 Tuberculosis , in this age group fever with milf chills more than 10 days should be examined for tuberculosis . Diagnosis can be confirmed by X ray chest and CBC ( still 12000 /cmm )
3 Urinary tract infection very common after prostate surgery .
Get in urine culture and drug sensitivity test.
In my opinion this is not viral fever , if it would have been , cured earlier.
So consult a physician and get his opinion. However there are so many other causes of such symptoms but deal as mentioned above.
Good luck.
