An Immunocompetent 56-Year-Old Woman With Multiple Enlarged Lymph Nodes and Recurrent Fevers.

Abstract

A 56-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital, presenting with a history of recurrent fevers persisting for over 2 months. The febrile episode was self-limiting, accompanied by cough without significant expectoration, with the fever predominantly manifesting during the afternoon and evening hours. Furthermore, there were no concurrent symptoms indicative of chest tightness, wheezing, dyspnea, or hemoptysis. A CT scan in a local hospital demonstrated multifocal lymphadenopathy in the mediastinum and bilateral supraclavicular regions. The patient had neither a history of tobacco usage nor of alcohol consumption. Furthermore, there was no familial history of oncologic conditions. The patient's medical records revealed no evidence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, infectious diseases, or immunologic disorders.
