Fevers and Fatigue

History

A 33-year-old woman is admitted to hospital because of general fatigue, fever and weight loss. She has lost 5 kg in weight over the last 3 months. She has felt increasingly fatigued and has a poor appetite. Over the past few weeks she has felt as if she was feverish and has developed night sweats. She has no chest pain or shortness of breath. She and her two children, aged 4 and 6 years, have come from Nigeria to visit her husband who has been in this country for 2 years. She has visited the UK twice before. She has had occasional fevers over the last 10 years and these have been treated presumptively as malaria with a good response. She has been otherwise well, although her periods have been irregular over the last 3 months. She has had no other serious medical illnesses. She is a non-smoker and drinks no alcohol. The ward receptionist has suggested that she is not entitled to NHS (National Health Service) treatment.
