Dear Editor,

A 93 year-old man was admitted to our Department with fatigue, loss of weight during the last few months and fever up to 38 oC of 5 days duration until one day prior to his admission being treated with antipyretics. The patient had been admitted with similar symptoms 3 months ago to another hospital and the ultrasound of the abdomen had revealed polycystic disease of the liver-kidney-pancreas, but without any other abnormal findings.
