Low Grade Fever for 3 Months

Typically low grade fever for this long without obvious signs of infection is caused by inflammation which can be systemic. I would think a rheumatologist should be consulted to rule out the many connective tissue diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. I would wonder what tests your endo did, and would bet they were just screening tests and not the in depth work up you need. I would pursue that avenue before an infectious disease consult. In the meantime gather all your lab results and make a concise list of symptoms even if they seem unrelated. Notice if sun exposure worsens any symptoms. If you get any rash take pictures of it to show dr in case it disappears by your appointment. It often takes weeks to months to get a rheumatologist appointment so ask to be put on a cancellation list for an earlier appointment if it’s a long wait

A relative got bit by a tick and developed a low grade fever for several weeks, maybe a couple of months. The doctor said it was a tick borne disease, not lyme disease, but something else.
