This is Ciara's latest diagnosis. She will regularly run a high temp and have some upper respiratory symptoms but all testing is negative. There are several kinds and she is suspected to have Marshall's Syndrome. Anyone with experience??? Karen
 
My DS ran fevers of unknown origin or idiopathic fevers from age 10 months to 3 years. His fevers would go as high as 106.8 and would be every 4 to 6 weeks like clock work. Never went more than 6 weeks w/o a fever. He did have IgA immunity issues and had chronic upper respiratory problems but when he ran fevers they would test for meningitis, pneumonia, strep and other blood work and everything was always negative. At the recommendation of an immunologist, I removed him from daycare at age 3 yrs. His fevers stopped within 6 months and he has not run one fever since then and he is 16 yo now. He can be very sick and not have a fever so we have to be careful.
Is there any exposures you can reduce? Have you consulted an immunologist? My son does have a rare genetic syndrome but it's not marshall's. I'll try to PM you.
 
my cousin has that. (she is 5). Outside of fevers, and the tired/crabby that they cause she is fine.
 
Have they checked for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis? I ran fevers a lot when I was young -- my teeth show the results of the tetracycline they were always giving me! I was diagnosed with JRA in 7th grade. I still run low grade fevers fairly frequently and my body doesn't fight infection well at all.
