Cheri have you got a line installed? I had a low-grade fever for weeks that just wouldn't respond to anything, and it magically went away when they removed by Hickman line as a last resort. It turned out there was a stubborn infection lurking in there that just wouldn't shift, and didn't show up on the cultures.
