Sammanfattning
In the workup of fever of unknown origin it is important to establish the patient's travel history. Where have you been, and what did you
do? This patient presents with fever, deteriorated general condition and non-specific airway and dermal symptoms. Recent travel in a tropical
area and eosinophilia swiftly directed suspicions to a parasitic disease, but inadequate information about exposure made the initial workup
more extensive than necessary.
