high grade fever for last one and half month

My father is I. Hospital for last one and half month except for few days we brought him home. He is running high grade fever which reaches 104 and above and never goes away. He is febrile alll the time. Paracetamol injection or tablet are not giving much relif only brings down fever for 1-2 hrs. Doctors have tried all the antifungal and antibiotics without sucess. Every time they fail they say fever might be due to the disease itself and not due to infection.

Can disease cause such high grade persistent fever ?

All cultures have been sterile.

Now they have conducted CT Scan of chest and tbe report states :- multiple nodes are noted in the mediastinum involving right pretracheal, paratracheal , carnial subcarnial and right hilar region. Largest measuring about 1.4 cm in right paratracheal location and a conglomerate mass in subcarnial region measuring about 3cm with necrotic centers.

The doctors are hesitant to perform bronchoscopy FNAC due to very low counts. They have doubt that it is due to TB and have started the treatment for the same from today.

We are clueless in regard to what is happening

The fever has really broken him. He is litrally imobile now and in very bad shape. He is also requiring platelets every other day.

Kindly help

Regards neel
