Fever that lasts a week?

Malaria?

Been in the tropics recently?

There were a few deaths in germany due to the fact that doctors didnt test for it. My dad had malaria once and the doctor would have sent us away if we hadnt insisted that he tested for it.

Could be other sorts of infectons with microscopic parasites or viruses, like the kind you can get from being bitten by wood-ticks (forgot what the disease is called).
