Infectious diseases can also progress to serious conditions, such as sepsis, which can sometimes be fatal. Therefore, it is crucial to determine the cause of fever to initiate appropriate treatment. However, there is still no consensus among clinicians regarding the use of CT in patients with acute fever without clinical clues. Therefore, in this study, we examined the use of CT in the identification of sources of infection in patients with acute fever of unknown origin. We investigated whether there was any predictor of the source of infection in thoracic and abdominal CT scans undertaken to explore the etiology of fever.
