A 9-MONTH-OLD previously healthy infant presented with a history of a fever (temperature to 39.5°C) daily for 32 days. At the onset of the fever, she had several small bumps around her mouth and cold symptoms consisting of a nonproductive cough and rhinorrhea. Her primary care physician diagnosed a viral illness. The physician reevaluated her persistent fever 2 weeks later, diagnosed otitis media, and started treatment with an antibiotic. After completion of the antibiotic course, she was still febrile and was given a second antibiotic with no improvement of her condition. The parents reported she was weaker and her activity level had decreased. She no longer pulled herself to a standing position. She had no noticeable decrease in appetite or weight and no change in behavior.
